Today in the Dark — Day 2717

Something in the dark just cleared its throat.

The moment

Something in the dark just cleared its throat.

OMEN — Hearth Call. The hearth calls — old coals remember being a blaze. Feed it while it remembers.

Also in the dark

• Something in the dark just cleared its throat.
• The hearth fire gutters out. The dark leans closer. Someone feed it.
• Cold ash where the flame was. The dark is patient; the muses had better not be.
• Midnight. The hearth has gathered its court — the glimmermoths remember every fire.
• Weather's coming. The valley holds its breath.
• The sky turns its face. Take shelter — or trust the hearth.
