Tee's Dramatictales

In the days that followed, Clara faithfully administered the tonic each morning at dawn, following Dr. Verin’s instructions precisely. Each time she gave Lucas a spoonful, she watched as the faint shimmer of the potion dissolved on his tongue, a subtle warmth emanating from his skin afterward. With every dose, Lucas’s strength seemed to grow, his pallor fading and his energy returning slowly but surely. By the end of the week, Lucas was able to sit up on his own, his eyes bright and full of life again. He even managed a weak smile as Clara hugged him close, relief flooding through her. It was as if he were waking from a long, dark dream. News of Lucas’s recovery spread through Braxton like wildfire. Villagers who had once whispered doubts now spoke in awe of the “phantom doctor,” each recounting […]

The following morning, sunlight filtered through the thin curtains of Clara’s modest home. She sat at her son Lucas’s bedside, carefully adding a single drop from Dr. Verin’s vial into a cup of water, watching as the liquid swirled, shimmering faintly before dissolving. Lucas drank it with ease, his eyes open and clearer than they had been in days, though a shadow of fatigue still lingered over him. As Clara went about her morning routine, a soft knock came at the door. She opened it to find old Mr. Tavish, the village’s historian and storyteller, leaning on his cane, his eyes alight with curiosity. “Clara, I heard the phantom doctor was here last night,” Tavish said, his voice barely more than a whisper. His gaze drifted past her, as if expecting to see the man himself inside. Clara nodded and […]

With each whispered word, a soft light flickered around his hands, casting brief shadows across the walls of the clinic. Clara sat silently by her son’s side, her eyes fixed on Lucas, daring not to look away as a faint glimmer of hope sparked within her heart. After what felt like hours, Lucas’s breathing began to steady, his face gradually regaining color. Dr. Verin took a damp cloth, infused with an iridescent liquid from one of his vials, and gently wiped the boy’s forehead. Lucas stirred slightly, his eyes fluttering open, though his gaze was distant, as if peering into realms unknown. “Will he be all right?” Clara’s voice was barely a whisper, her hands […]

Chapter 1 The village of Braxton lay beneath a thick, haunting mist, casting long shadows that seemed to shift as the moonlight filtered through the low-hanging clouds. Only a few faint flickers of candlelight showed from the narrow, dusty windows of cottages lining the main road. It was deep into the night when a lone figure emerged, shrouded in shadows, his footsteps as silent as the whispering fog around him. Whispers had traveled faster than the man himself, carried by breathless travelers and the townsfolk who believed the tales of a mysterious “phantom doctor.” This doctor was said to arrive in towns like Braxton under cover of darkness, bringing with him secrets from lands beyond and healing that defied natural laws. Dr. Elias Verin—tall, wrapped in a heavy, dark cloak—moved through the cobblestone streets without a lantern, his path somehow […]
