Novel Lighting Novels & Stories

With nowhere else to turn, I headed back to the office. Shivering all the way, I was numb by the time I arrived. The weather outside was getting worse, and as dusk fell, a freezing drizzle began to fall. I used to worry about Marvin getting caught in a weather like that, afraid he would suffer even the slightest discomfort. Seeing my ragged reflection in the office's glass, the irony could not be more bitter. As I slowly got used to the warmth inside, I pulled out my phone with shaky hands, clinging to a sliver of hope.

THE WOLF The restaurant is too bright for my liking, lighting fixtures of different shapes and temperatures lit the room with a harsh whiteness. I blink once, then twice, resisting the instinct to shrink from the light. Even at night, humans still try to imitate the glory of the sun. Instead of embracing the beauty of the moon, they cling to this openness, it made them feel safe.

my mother whispered. “Yes, Mom.” The red light swirled around her in violent, glowing circles before intensifying into a blinding flash. We shielded our eyes, and when the light died down, the necklace was gone. Only a faint residue of red mist remained, sinking into her skin before vanishing completely. Novel’s eyes flew open.

Point by point.

Lysander lit them with a flick of his wrist, his movements quick, almost frantic. He pulled books from the shelves—old books, books we had not touched in weeks—and spread them across the table.

There were small tables and padded armchairs arranged throughout the levels in remote pockets for the visitors to read or discuss. Much of the lighting was provided by the ambient light of the sun through the glass wall of the front, though it was a particularly dreary day and the clouds had shut up much of the light, leaving only dark and grey. For days like these, there were, also, maurium lamps and floor lighting provided for convenience and style.

There was a butler standing by the door. "Would you like your blood warm?" The butler asked us calmly. "Yes," I told him. "Bottles?" "Preferably." "It's on the way," he told me as he pulled out a phone and typed something into it. Milo watched him curiously and then moved into my lap, taking my hand in his and putting it over his shoulder as he looked at the fireplace in interest, studying it. I watched the fireplace as well with slight interest. It was actually lit and producing a small light into the room. Usually vampire lurked in complete darkness. The light from the fire was illuminating the room and casting dark shadows. The light was bright and something I wasn't used to, natural ligh

The sunlight seeped in slowly through the linen curtains—warm, golden, and languid. It bathed everything in warm, forgiving hues. Lily woke up for the first time in a long time without the weight of nightmares. No jolts. No screams muffled in her throat. Just breath. Steady. Real.
