Picking up my books and heading through the classroom door of my last class of the day, Greek, I venture into the quiet hallway. The hallways of Buchan University are depressingly quiet and the thud of books and far-off footsteps seem hushed, as if not to disturb some monster or demon. Dust is suspended in the air and fickle sunlight filters through the windows on the end of the hall. It is past 4PM and the other students are either back in their dormitories or in town, getting drunk and meeting with friends.A cold chill hangs in the air as ...

The dusk was starting to settle outside and a gentle breeze bringing hints of autumn rustled the leaves of the old oak tree. The Tree-House creaked gently, its old floorboards peeling, with crayon and marker stains on the walls and floor. You are sitting on the floor with your knees to your chest.

I rest my head in her lap and she runs her fingers through my hair. Her dark hair occasionally falls onto my head and we would both laugh as she playfully brushes it away from my face. Her hand is in mine and I trace patterns on her palm. She smells like lavender and honey and coffee and ...

Sunlight. Your boat docks on the beach of Emysis. All around you is sunlight, beaches and waves. The sea is splendidly blue and little waves hit the edge of the light brown sand. Above you, the sky is a beautiful opal. Little strands of clouds drift lazily through the ether and seagulls fly leisurely above you, going to nowhere.There are palm trees dotting the shoreline, and in the distance a great temple looms ahead of you. Its silhouette is large, with curves and slants making up the larger portion of the shapes. This temple, Bahniska, had...
