Une femme dont le ventre reste vide, un mari qui ne trouve pas les mots pour la rassurer, un inconnu qui frappe à la porte et s'immisce entre eux. La rencontre de trois solitudes, quelque part, dans une ferme. Marion Fayolle évoque le désir d'enfant avec une délicatesse qui n'élude pas le chagrin. Elle invente un monde où l'on transforme ce dont les autres ne veulent pas, où les amours déteignent et où la poésie se cueille à même le sauvage.

Take a meander from places labeled normal to a world that clatters, slinks, and drips. Looks aren't everything and nothing is as it seems. Along the Elizabeth River in Norfolk stands an unassuming diner where love and misery are on the menu. Come for breakfast, stay for the pie. You might never want to leave. The Dark Reflections series is a shared world based on the art by Jeff Lee Johnson in which each author has contributed a single character to the telling of the tale behind the images.

The delegates—or as Kirill thought of them, “The Seven Deadly Sins”—were not people who had brought happiness into the world. For the sake of his own survival and longevity, he had to remain on guard for the entire duration of the conference.

I go for her: The Embermage. She is temptation. She is forbidden. She is sin—yet one I cannot resist. Her fire calls to a darkness deep within me, stirring feelings and urges that must remain buried. For months, I've watched from the safety of the crowd: to look, but to never, ever touch. Until one night, when I get far too close. She perceives me, beckons to me...

Saga, a skeptical 35-year-old woman, consults a past-life regression therapist to confront the nebulous fear she carries. Why is she so intent on sabotaging her own life? During the initial session, Saga travels back to 1975 to rural Iowa where she embodies 18-year-old Fiona Dolan, a farm girl who has always felt like an outsider, even in her large, Irish Catholic family. Fiona has been labeled as a storyteller, but this is just another way to say they think she is a liar. Even her own mother thinks she's too smart for her own good.

"Les enfants, les bébés, ils les appellent les "petitous". Et c’est vrai qu’ils sont des petits touts. Qu’ils sont un peu de leur mère, un peu de leur père, un peu des grands-parents, un peu de ceux qui sont morts, il y a si longtemps. Tout ce qu’ils leur ont transmis, caché, inventé. Tout. C’est pas toujours facile d’être un petit tout, d’avoir en soi autant d’histoires, autant de gens, de réussir à les faire taire pour inventer encore une petite chose à soi."
