  • Breakers of the Day

    The flicker of the flame springing to life drew a stark contrast with the rooms early morning chill. Peter steadied his labored breath for fear of blowing out the candle. The ability to rise at a specific time had helped him be selected as a member of the Daybreak Order. The selection process was brutal, only the most disciplined and devout even had a chance at consideration. Despite having barely made it through the selection, since his appointment he’d ascended quickly to the role of Candle Lighter, the first to arise each day.There were fail safes and backups but for sixty weeks straight t...HR3one door

    An Expensive Dinner

    He hated eating, hated food, hated that he was sat at a table with people he didn’t know having to experience both those things. There were butterflies in his stomach and they were wreaking havoc with the rice he was trying to shove down his throat, he wasn’t sure he could manage any of the curry at all unless something changed.
