The Children of the Dome
PART ONE: THE SCRAPYARD GODS The mist over the Mississippi delta didn't roll—it hung, thick and yellow and alive, like the breath of something dead that refused to stop breathing. Buck McCullough waded through it with a crowbar and a burlap sack, picking through the ruins of what had once been a town called Bayou Cane. Now it was just another skeleton in the swamp, half-swallowed by cypress...

What the Snow Remembers
Jimmy's arm was bleeding on the asphalt behind the gas station.Billy found him sitting on the curb, right arm pressed hard against the left forearm, blood seeping through his fingers in steady dark drops. The snow around him was pink. A pickup truck idled in the parking lot, its heater running, its driver's side door open and empty."What happened?" Billy asked. He was thirty-four, hungover, and...

What the Transfer Order Did Not Record

The order was two pages, single-spaced, and it contained the following information: Prisoner Name: Arthur James Webb Date of...

The Load-Bearing Silence
The ferry to Gray Island ran once a day. Danny Miller caught it at seven in the morning because that was when his shift started and the schedule was the only thing in his life that made sense. The island was small. The lake was shallow. The state hospital had twelve beds and eight patients and two nurses who worked days while Danny worked nights. Nobody asked why. Nobody cared. --- The new...

THE LAST WALL
The stone was cold beneath Edward's gloved hands. He ran his palm along the face of it, feeling for the cracks his predecessors had spent a thousand years cataloguing. There were none today. The wall held. It always held. Edward Blackthorne, seventieth Lord Keeper of the Morvayne Ramparts, walked the parapet at midnight, as he had every night for twelve years. The moon was a sliver of bone in a...

The Patient from Below
Part I: The Lock Henri Leclerc was thirty-three years old, the youngest mathematics professor at the Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris, and in the spring of 1893 he was on the verge of a discovery that would have changed the course of mathematics. He had been working on hypergeometric functions—specifically, on a class of functions that extended the concept of infinity to higher dimensions. In...

THE PEOPLE'S ENGINE
### Act I: The Spark James Callahan first understood what engineering meant at the age of twelve, when he was sent into the depths of the Homestead Steel Plant to unclog a jammed conveyor belt that had brought the entire rolling mill to a halt. The foreman had given him a choice: crawl through the gap between two moving rollers, or watch his father lose a week's wages for the downtime. James...

The Governor's Return: Post-Colonial Gothic Variant
He woke sixteen years old and knew, before the calypso reached his ears, that he was back. The tropical sun was blazing through the window of the mission school dormitory, hot and white and uncompromising, the kind of sun that turned the Caribbean sea into a sheet of hammered silver and made the air above the valley shimmer with heat. Cassian lay on the narrow bed and listened to the calypso...

THE STARS OF EVELYN MARCHETTI
The funeral was over on a Thursday in November. Chicago was cold in a way that felt deliberate—as if the city itself wanted to remind us that winter was coming and nothing in your life mattered to it. I stood at the graveside in a black suit that had been my father's first and now was mine by necessity, and I watched them lower him into the ground. My father was dead. He had been dead for...

The Gilded Memory
Arthur lived in the damp, suffocating belly of Blackwood Manor, a place where the soot of the industrial revolution clung to the walls like a parasitic fungus. For ten years, he had been the ghost of the boiler room, a nameless orphan whose only purpose was to ensure the aristocrats upstairs never felt a single chill of the London winter. His world was a symphony of clanking iron and the smell...

The Gilded Cage of Reason
The city of Aethelgard was a monument to the Enlightenment, a place where reason was the only currency and logic the only law. In Aethelgard, the "Academy of Pure Thought" governed every aspect of existence, from the architecture of the streets to the frequency of the citizens' heartbeats. To feel was to be inefficient; to love was to be irrational. Julian was the Academy's most celebrated...

The Architect of Memory
(Biographical Fiction Variation) The archives of the Vatican are a labyrinth of silence and dust, where the history of the world is stored in vellum and ink. Father Thomas Moreland had spent forty years in these depths, a scholar of the forgotten, a man who believed that the truth was not found in the grand narratives of the Church, but in the margins of the manuscripts. Thomas was a man of...
