Urban mists descend as a hazy veil obscuring alleys, clinging to the roofs and cornices of ancient edifices, casting an eerie pallor upon timber long steeped in mystery. Chimneys belch idle smoke into the suspiciously crisp night as the warmth trickling down the quiet alleys standing rigid like prison cells &' the road surface glistens with dampness reflecting lamplight. Marshalling footfalls toward dwellings kept in hermetic closure, an uninscribed canon circulates through the tang of ferrum archival motes echoing a vestigial warning: what is left in stasis will persist, and what is sequestered too long invariably harbors a secret.
