The Digital Pawn
The trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange was a cathedral of noise, a place where fortunes were made and destroyed in the time it took to blink. Marcus was the high priest of this chaos. He didn't use intuition; he used math. He had developed a quantitative model that could spot a pattern in the noise before the noise even knew it was a pattern. For three years, Marcus was the golden boy...

The Fungus in the Bayou
The crater had been there since before Abby could remember. It sat at the edge of her family's marshland, a perfect circle about fifty feet across where nothing grew—not grass, not cypress knees, not even the usual tangle of vine and swamp muck. The land around it was thick with vegetation, but inside the crater, the soil was grey and fine, like ground glass, and it smelled faintly of ozone....

The First Hundred Years of Nothing
ACT I: THE VICTORY The injection felt like nothing. That was the first thing Arthur Shaw noticed when the technician withdrew the needle from his arm and applied a cotton pad to the puncture site. He had expected pain—fear, even—but the Augmented Genetic Extension treatment was administered through a standard intravenous line, and aside from the cold sensation of the serum entering his...

The Dimensional Prisoner
The world was a grid. Not a map, but a literal, shimmering lattice of white lines against an infinite black void. Silas existed in a cell—a perfect cube of translucent glass—and for as long as he could remember, the Ring had been his only companion. The Ring was a band of pulsing, iridescent metal that whispered in a language of pure mathematics. It told Silas that he was the Chosen. It told...

Notes into the Hudson
New York is like a drunk woman—you think you have her figured out, and then she turns around and you don't even remember her name. My name is Jack Morane, and in October of 1927, I was twenty-six years old, living in a rooming house near Washington Square, and trying to convince myself that what I was learning in that basement on Mulberry Street was more than just a trick. I arrived in New York...

The Cellar of Winter Green
The Cellar of Winter Green The snow came down on the Yorkshire moors like a shroud being drawn over the world. Arthur Pendelton watched it from the classroom window, his breath fogging the glass. Below, the path to the main building disappeared under white. Above, the gas lamps in the courtyard flickered—one, two, three—then went out. Winter Green Academy was dark and cold and three hundred...

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 woman who came into my office that night had a coat that cost more than my car and eyes that had seen things that would make a marine's teeth chatter.
She sat down without being invited, which in my experience meant she was either very brave or very desperate. Usually both. "I need you to find a man," she said. Her voice was the kind of voice you'd expect from someone who spent her life reading poetry to rooms full of people who weren't listening. "A tall man. Goes by the Ambassador. He has an embassy—doesn't exist on any map." I studied her....

Courtyard on Bleak Street
The fog came in from the Thames at half past four, as it always did in November of 1888, and by half past five it had swallowed Bleak Street entirely. Thomas Whitmore stood at his second-floor window and pressed his palm against the cold glass, watching the carriage sit motionless in the courtyard below. It was a four-wheeler, second-hand from a hansom driver in Paddington, painted a color that...

The Guardian's Last Stand
(Tragic Romance) The chapel of St. Jude sat on a cliff overlooking the churning grey waters of the North Sea. It was a place of salt-spray and solitude, home to a single, ancient statue of a knight in full plate armor, his stone sword pointed toward the horizon. Julian was the last of the chapel's keepers. He was a man of quiet habits and a broken heart, for the statue was not merely a piece of...

The Five Cents Between Right and Wrong
The first compromise cost five cents. Clara Goldstein was twenty-two years old and working at the Rosenblatt Garment Company, and the foreman had offered her a nickel to work through her lunch break. She took the nickel, because she was hungry and five cents bought a bowl of soup at the cafeteria on Canal Street, and she told herself that working through lunch was not a compromise, it was a...

The Lure of the Azure Nebula
The Blackwood Estate was a place of oppressive silence and weeping willows, a Gothic monolith of grey stone that seemed to absorb the very light of the English countryside. Evelyn Vance lived in the highest tower, a room filled with brass armillary spheres, leather-bound grimoires of forbidden astronomy, and a telescope that pointed not at the stars, but at the gaps between them. Evelyn was a...
