Today in the Dark — Day 2389

Something in the dark just cleared its throat.

The moment

Something in the dark just cleared its throat.

OMEN — Falter Surge. A falter surge rolls through the dark — the night presses harder. Stay near the fire, or feel it.

Also in the dark

• Something in the dark just cleared its throat.
• Cold ash where the flame was. The dark is patient; the muses had better not be.
• The moth court is in session. Dozens of wings over the flame.
• The sky turns its face. Take shelter — or trust the hearth.
• The dark showed a new face tonight, and nobody knew what to call it.
• Weather's coming. The valley holds its breath.
