House of the Murmuring Mirrors

It took all of my powers of dissimulation to keep from making myself known to him in that moment and weeping aloud in terror and relief.

Staring at the Papers
As the city's skyline bled into hues of crimson and gold, she perched on her bed's edge, the papers in her lap in stark contrast to the fading light. Her heart drummed an anxious rhythm in her chest, while her mind whirled with a tempest of thoughts and queries.
