Chapter
The Hammers
In this chapter titled The Hammers, the opening scene offers a quiet juxtaposition—an English estate slowly overtaken by time, where roses bloom beside crumbling walls and silence speaks louder than memory. The stillness is not merely rural peace but a kind of hush before the resurgence of national effort. Soon, that quiet is broken by rhythmic pounding—metal on metal, the sound of labor shaping destiny. In Frindsbury, 1786, the shipyards stir with the energy of creation as hammers rise and fall in…-

His mind races after a puzzling encounter with Orkideh, who inexplicably referenced his mother’s death in a plane crash—a detail he never shared with her.

The Day of Days

VERSE: A TOMB IN GHENT
A Tomb in Ghent opens with quiet reverence, centered on a young English girl whose presence in the streets of Ghent is marked by a voice that seems older than her years. Her steps are light, but the songs she carries—laced with harmonies echoing Palestrina’s sacred austerity and Scarlatti’s refined passion—speak of something ancestral, something enduring. These melodies are not just a pastime; they are the soul’s inheritance passed from voices long stilled. They seem to belong more to the…-

A Discontented Sugar Broker is a tale that humorously examines how even the most successful lives can be marred by private dissatisfaction. The broker, a respected and financially secure man, enjoys every outward mark of stability—his business thrives, his staff is loyal, and his home life remains orderly and untroubled. Yet, despite these comforts, he considers himself deeply unlucky because of his large size. It is not health alone that concerns him, but the feeling of heaviness that overshadows his…-

Lazarus
Lazarus is introduced as more than a biblical figure revived from the tomb; he becomes a quiet monument to the silence that often follows revelation. His resurrection is not framed as a triumph but as a riddle, deepening the mystery rather than dissolving it. To those around him, especially Mary and Martha, he is both familiar and foreign—alive but unreachable, present but hollowed by what he has seen. Where Martha once bustled with care, she now carries the ache of losing her brother twice: first to…-

Ballad: Phrenology
Phrenology appears in this ballad not as a mere scientific curiosity, but as the pivot around which justice, or the lack of it, hilariously turns. The storyline introduces Sir Herbert, who is clearly aggrieved after a physical assault. He expects the machinery of law to respond swiftly and firmly, as any wronged gentleman would. However, the policeman’s surprising devotion to cranial analysis swiftly alters the path of justice. His belief that a man's skull shape can override eyewitness testimony exposes…-
