https://i.imgur.com/TZFDaPS.png It wasn't the worst prison Thomas had ever been in, but it wasn't exactly comfortable and cozy, either. Furniture was minimal and tended toward stone, or just straw on the floor for beds. Judging by the smell, straw on the floor may also have been for a makeshift abs...

https://i.imgur.com/TZFDaPS.png 52nd Frost, 4621 It was disconcerting to spend so much time in a high-end place simply as himself. Thomas found himself reflexively adopting the gait and mannerisms of Lord Ashley Ryan without meaning to, simply because being here felt wrong. He knew he didn't belong...

https://i.imgur.com/TZFDaPS.png 23rd Frost, 4606 It had been a few weeks since Thomas’ cast had come off. He’d been physically weak for a few days, and had to get his stamina back for going much further than the bathroom, but it had come back quickly. At this point, his right side still felt a bit ...

Worse, because Thomas couldn't recall a time when he hadn't seen a slap coming, but this was all the worse for being a surprise. He pushed his plate away. He wasn't hungry any more...

https://i.imgur.com/TZFDaPS.png Thomas had never considered the prospect of immortality for the same reason he had never considered the prospect of growing an extra head, or commanding others with his thoughts. Not that he'd necessarily be immortal, if this worked -- ageless and immortal didn't mea...

https://i.imgur.com/TZFDaPS.png Thomas didn't reply immediately, preferring instead to just hold Latham's hand and think about what he was hearing. Certainly, he did not need to be convinced of his lover's sincerity. Latham had no particular reason to claim he was the sort of immortal being that ma...

https://i.imgur.com/TZFDaPS.png 54th Frost, Year 4621 For the first time in his life, Thomas had nothing to do. He'd spent his childhood cleaning houses, including his own, and going to school, then his adolescence cleaning houses, going to school, and making medicine. Not much had changed after he...

https://i.imgur.com/TZFDaPS.png Something had been bothering Thomas, actually: Latham's Mark, the one on his neck -- that had made his fires happen, yet it was now gone.
