Asher day 2: The other side

Peter's knuckles whiten against the oar, muscles burning with each pull against the churning sea. Sweat mingles with spray on his weathered face, trickling down his neck despite the biting wind. The boat pitches beneath him – familiar motion...

Asher day 1: Among the tombs

The setting sun bleeds into the sea, painting waves in copper and crimson. Asher's fingernails dig into his palms as he watches white tombs emerge from gathering darkness – pure, untouchable, mocking his uncleanness. His chest constricts with each...

Seven Nights with Asher: Laws written in blood and stone

Last chances pile up like stones in my hands – each one heavy with promise, sharp with failure. I've built monuments of them, these final attempts. Each morning whispers "today will be different," and each night echoes with familiar defeat. My...
