Figures who refuse to disappear. Broken crowns. Fist raised in a room with no audience. Rebellion without a cause — just a feeling.

Castles that breathe. Armour with no knight. A throne room where the throne is empty but something is still sitting there.

Rain on a screen that is off. A girl at a window who was not there a second ago. The silence between episodes that never ends.

Eyes in the treeline. A stray dog that matches your pace. The owl that turned its head sideways and kept turning long past normal.

Cobblestones worn by feet that stopped walking decades ago. Lanterns that flicker when no one passes. A street that only appears after midnight.
