The Van Helsing Conjecture – Excerpt No. 205

Time in here was moving more slowly than she was accustomed to. Clara was not sure as to the how or let alone why, but she would not waste this opportunity.

Had I been this Clara I would distract Evelyn to weaken my bindings…”

A cinematic photograph of a lone flapper, poised amidst the grandiose atmosphere of a lavish art deco council chamber, devoid of any other presence, transporting the viewer to the opulent era of 1925 high-society United States. The flapper, adorned in exquisite attire, boasts a fitted, fringe-hemmed dress with intricate beading, her raven-haired bob styled in sleek, finger-waved perfection, and a charming, cloche hat tilted at a rakish angle, its wide brim casting a subtle shadow on her heart-shaped face, featuring porcelain skin, crimson lips, and piercing emerald eyes. The expansive chamber, resplendent with ornate geometric patterns, gleaming metallic accents, and rich wood paneling, stretches out behind her, its high, vaulted ceiling lost in darkness, while warm, golden light pours in through towering windows, casting long, dramatic shadows across the polished marble floor, adding to the overall sense of luxury and sophistication.
