The glass sea was not endless.

Eliana realized this only after they had been walking for what felt like hours, or perhaps days, or perhaps merely minutes—time in the Realm had a way of slipping through her fingers like smoke, present one moment and dispersed the next. She no longer felt the crushing exhaustion that had driven her to her knees when she first fell. Instead, a strange, hollow energy filled her chest, as though someone had scooped out her grief with a careful hand and left the spac

  • Between Breathe And Goodbye   The Debt of the Self

    Eliana wanted to hold her. She wanted to put her arms around this woman, this broken, beautiful woman who had carried a sorrow so deep it had swallowed her whole, and tell her that it was okay, that she understood, that she forgave her. But she was still a witness, still a ghost in a memory.And then the room began to shake.Not an earthquake. Something deeper. The floor beneath them cracked, and the cracks were not black but white, and the white was the same white that had swallowed her before, and it was rising, seeping up through the fissures like water from a deep well.Her mother looked up, and her face was no longer grief-stricken. It was afraid. Not for herself, but for Eliana. “You have to go,” she said, and her voice was urgent, commanding. “This is not your memory. This is mine. You cannot stay here. If the white takes you here, it won’t just take your body. It will take your story. Your name. Your chance to go back.”“I don’t know how to leave,” Eliana said, and the white w

  • Between Breathe And Goodbye   The Breaking Point

    The white swallowed everything. Not like light—like the absence of color, of texture, of boundary. Eliana hung in it, neither floating nor falling, suspended in the space between moments. She could feel the warmth of her brother’s hand still pressed against her palm, but when she tried to squeeze, there was nothing there. Only the memory of warmth, and the faint, fading echo of his voice saying, *I’m here. I’m not lost anymore.*She tried to breathe, but her lungs felt wrong—too large, too empty, as if they were trying to draw in something that wasn’t air. She tried to scream, but the sound dissolved in the white before it could reach her own ears. She was alone. Not the solitude of a quiet room, or the loneliness of a crowded street, but the absolute, crushing isolation of a soul untethered from its body, from its purpose, from its place in the world.*No.*She wouldn’t accept it. She had fought through the Field of Echoes, through the Glass Room, through the Memory Court, through th

  • Between Breathe And Goodbye   The Scale of the Dead

    "The darkness wins either way, Eliana. The only choice is what you leave behind."She wanted to argue. She had spent six years arguing with herself, with her mother, with the empty rooms of her house. But the garden was working on her, the statues and their frozen light, the mist and the silence. She felt small. She felt like a child in a story who had wandered too far from the path and was now facing the witch's oven.The boy tugged on her sleeve. "Eliana," he said softly."What?""Look."He pointed. She followed his finger.In the center of the garden, past the rows of surrendering stone, something moved. Something that wasn't a statue. It was a platform, raised on steps of black stone, and upon it sat a massive scale. Not a scale of the modern world, but an ancient thing, forged from iron and bone, its chains thick as a man's arm, its pans wide enough to hold a body. It was tilted, one side low, the other high, and as they watched, it trembled, as though waiting for a weight to set

  • Between Breathe And Goodbye   The convenant

    The stone beneath her feet screamed.Not a human scream. Something deeper and older, like the sound of mountains tearing themselves apart at the seams. Eliana grabbed the boy's wrist and yanked him backward, away from the widening fissure that was devouring the cavern floor. The compass slipped from his fingers and hit the ground with a sound like a bell being struck underwater. Light erupted from it—not the pale glow of the Realm, but something sharp, something that cut."Run!" Eliana shouted, though she didn't know where.The guide was already moving, his form dissolving at the edges, becoming a streak of silver and shadow that darted toward the far wall. She followed, dragging the boy with her, her free hand clawing at the air for balance as the ground pitched and rolled like a living thing trying to buck them off. A slab of stone the size of a car crashed down where they had been standing. Dust erupted in a choking cloud, and Eliana felt it pass through her—not around her, but th

  • Between Breathe And Goodbye   When Hope Betrays

    For a moment, Eliana was certain she had misheard. The words didn’t compute. They refused to slot into any framework she recognized. She had been through the Trial of the Lake, where she had watched Lily die again and again and again. She had been through the Trial of the Mirror, where she had stared at a reflection that showed her every broken piece of herself. She had been through the Trial of the Road, where she had walked until her feet bled and her heart shattered and then, impossibly, began to heal. Three trials. He had said three. She remembered it clearly, because she had been counting. Because she had been holding onto the number three the way a drowning person holds onto a raft.“Wait, what?” she snapped, her voice rising, cracking, echoing across the glass. “I thought we are done with this test.”The guide tilted his head. “Done?”“Yes, done!” She stepped toward him, her hands clenched into fists at her sides. “Finished. Over. Three trials. You said three. You said if I fac

  • Between Breathe And Goodbye   The Price of Survival

    And the road went on.The words echoed in Eliana’s mind like the last note of a song she couldn’t stop humming. The asphalt beneath her feet had felt solid, real, undeniable. She had touched the guardrail where Maya’s life had ended, and in that touch, she had found something she hadn’t known she was missing: permission. Permission to keep breathing. Permission to exist without her best friend’s ghost chained to her ankle. The wind had moved through the pine trees, and her mother had been waiting in the car, and the compass in her pocket had pointed west, toward home, toward the next hello, toward the possibility of a life that wasn’t defined entirely by absence.But before she could take another step, before she could open the car door and slide into the passenger seat and tell her mother that she was ready to go home, the world blinked.It was the only way to describe it. One moment she was standing on the shoulder of Highway 9, the gravel crunching under her shoes, the smell of pin

  • Between Breathe And Goodbye   Run Toward the Light

    The darkness swallowed everything.One second the hallway existed around us, filled with flickering lanterns and crawling shadows, and the next, it vanished beneath a heavy blackness so thick it felt alive. My chest tightened instantly as panic rose through me. I couldn’t see my own hands. Couldn’t

  • Between Breathe And Goodbye   The Hollow Ones

    The silence that followed felt wrong. Not quiet, not peaceful, but wrong. Like the room itself had stopped breathing.I couldn’t move. My entire body remained frozen where I stood, staring at the wooden door that had slammed shut only seconds ago. The image of the soul being dragged away replayed i

  • Between Breathe And Goodbye   The Voice Beneath the Water

    Cold, that was the first thing I felt when consciousness returned.Not the normal kind of cold that came with rain or harmattan mornings. This cold felt alive. It wrapped itself around my body like wet hands dragging me deeper into something endless. My chest tightened as I opened my eyes, only to

  • Between Breathe And Goodbye   Beneath The Dark

    Darkness swallowed Eliana whole.Not the normal kind of darkness that came with closing your eyes at night. This darkness felt alive and heavy. It was endless. It wrapped around her body like cold water and dragged her deeper into nothingness. She could not breathe properly. She could not move. Eve
