The Fortune Teller's Gospel
The factory whistle blew at six, and three hundred men walked out into the Chicago dawn like soldiers leaving a battlefield they could not see. Jack O'Brien stood at the gate for exactly four minutes, watching faces he had known for ten years—faces that were harder now, older than thirty-two should be. Then he turned his collar up against the wind and walked toward the Loop, where he had a...

The Caretaker's Ledger (Expanded)
The moss had a way of claiming everything at Blackwood Plantation—the crumbling columns, the rusted iron gates, and the souls of those who lived within. I have been the caretaker here for forty years, a ghost in a linen suit, recording the slow decay of the Colonel's sanity in my ledger. Colonel Silas was a man of iron and obsession. He lived for the purity of the Blackwood line, a lineage he...

The Archive of Hollow Bones
Elias Thorne had been keeping the archive for three months when the Grand Curator arrived. He knew this because the candles on the iron shelf had burned down to three distinct levels — one for each month of his descent into the dark beneath the old St. Swithin's burial ground. The candles were lit now, though he could not remember lighting them. The air was thick with the smell of wet earth and...

Rajpat Singh kept a record. He was a chronicler in the service of the British Empire, and his job was to document everything: the construction of the Sun Pillars, the consumption of fuel, the mortality rates of colonial laborers.
The Sun Pillars rose from the plains of India, Africa, and Australia. Twelve thousand of them, scattered across the empire like the stakes of a great tent. Their plasma columns threw a blue-white light across the northern sky, turning day into an impossible twilight. The empire called it salvation. Rajpat called it what it was: theft. His grandfather had died during the Braking Era, in the heat...

The Last Archive of the Light
The Chronicler did not possess a name, for names are a luxury of those who exist within time. He existed in the Interstice, a shimmering void between the dying embers of the last galaxy and the absolute zero of the coming night. He had watched the Great Cycle unfold. He had seen the birth of the first stars, the rise of a billion civilizations, and the slow, inevitable slide toward entropy. He...

The Mirror at Blackthorne
I. The accident happened on a wet road outside Edinburgh on a November evening in 1893, and the word "accident" is the first of many lies in this story. An accident implies that something was meant to happen and went wrong. What happened to Morwenna was not wrong. It went exactly right, in the sense that a fall from a height always goes right until it goes left, and when Morwenna's horse...

The Obsidian Light (V-06: Victorian Gothic)
The Isle of Mourning was a place where the wind sounded like a choir of the drowned. It was a jagged shard of obsidian thrusting out of the North Atlantic, surrounded by a sea that never slept and a sky that never cleared. At the island's highest peak sat the Pharos of Silence, a lighthouse whose lamp did not burn oil, but a captured fragment of a fallen star. Edmund had come to the island as a...

The Digital Echo
Silas existed as a sequence of shimmering gold pulses in the void of The Archive. He remembered a life of rain and old books, but that was a ghost-memory, a fragment of a file that had been corrupted long ago. In this realm, there was no distance, only latency. He was a thought without a thinker, a memory without a mind, a ghost in a machine that had forgotten its purpose. Silas spent his...

THE LAST GREAT GATSBY'S WAR
ACT I: THE JAZZ CLUB (20%) The piano player at Le Diable Noir was playing a tune Nick Calloway had never heard but felt he had lived. It was slow and sad and sounded like a man walking through a room where everything he had loved had been taken, and he didn't know when it happened or by whose hand, so he just kept walking. Nick sat at the bar with a whiskey that was half water and watched the...

The Bad Medicine
Act I The package was small. Not small enough to be innocent—small enough to be deniable. It was a sample tube, sealed in plastic, wrapped in brown paper, with a return address that said Gillette Laboratories and a destination that said San Diego. The guy who hired me to deliver it offered me two thousand dollars. I was paying nine hundred for a studio apartment on Sunset that smelled like...

The Last Dance at the Halo
The champagne tasted like money and the money tasted like other people's pain. I knew this because I had spent twenty-seven years learning exactly where fortune came from and where it went. The party was in full swing—jazz pouring from the piano in the corner, women in silk dresses spinning across the dance floor, men in tuxedos laughing with the loud, careless laughter of men who believed the...

The River's Burden
The River's Burden I. I am one hundred and five years old, and the Mississippi still smells the same as it did when I was a boy. Mud, rot, and something underneath both of them that you cannot name but can always feel. The Engine does not change the smell. Nothing changes the smell of this river. I was born a slave on the Hartfield plantation, and I died one, though they called it something...
