The Teacher at East Area High
Ms. Torres stood at the whiteboard in Room 204 of Youngstown East Area High School and tried to explain Newton's second law to three students, one of whom was sleeping, one of whom was drawing on his desk with a pencil, and one of whom was solving the problem correctly but would not look up from his notebook. "The acceleration of an object," she said, tapping the marker against the board, "is...

The Last Glimmer of Earth
The fog in the East End did not just cling to the cobblestones; it tasted of coal-smoke and forgotten prayers. I remember the smell of the soot in my lungs, a permanent resident of my chest since I was six, climbing the narrow flues of Mayfair mansions. Back then, the world was a series of dark holes and the distant, muffled laughter of people who lived in light. Then came the Great Mirror. It...

The Fog and the Stars
I The fog rolled in from the Thames like a living thing, swallowing煤气 lamps whole. Arthur Pendleton stood before the headstone, the damp London cold seeping through his woolen coat, and watched his breath dissolve into the grey nothingness around him. Above him on the crag of Highgate Hill, an ant named Brown Climber traced figures into the damp earth with its feelers—9, 5, 2, 0—the numbers of...

The Patient from Below
ACT I: THE LISTENING The sanatorium sat on the edge of Whitechapel, where the fog never fully lifted and the gas lamps cast yellow circles on cobblestones that were perpetually damp. Julian Ashworth had been sent here by his physician after his "episode" at twenty-five—a nervous breakdown, the doctor called it, though Julian suspected the word "nervous" was a euphemism for something the doctor...

The Last Pemberton
The stock market crashed on a Thursday in October, and Arthur Pemberton III was in his father's study on the twelfth floor of the Pemberton building on Wall Street, reading a diary that had been locked in a desk drawer for sixty years, and understanding, page by page, that the empire his father had died building on was built on a foundation of lies. --- Colonel William Pemberton had been a man...

THE BRIGHTNESS OF SEAWATER
Act I — The Spark The metal piece fit in Ida's palm like a question she couldn't answer. It was heavier than anything made of iron should be—dense, warm to the touch, and marked with lines so precise they might have been cut by a god with very small hands. She had found it in a crate of salvage from a Soviet freighter that had docked at Brooklyn three weeks earlier, traded for by a man who...

The Dust-Eaters
The world was a series of grey plains and towering cliffs of salt. To me, the world is a place of hunger and humming. I live in the 'Silt-Quarter', a city built in the shadow of a giant, rusted soda can that we call the Iron Mountain. We don't remember the Macro-Era. To us, the 'Greats' are myths, gods who were too big to be happy. We are the Micro, the survivors of the Shrink, and our lives...

Part I: The First Note
The resonance chamber hummed. It was a sound that existed below the threshold of hearing--not quite a sound, more like the feeling you get when you stand too close to a pipe organ and the bass note presses against your chest like a hand. Elijah Whitman stood in the center of the chamber, his voice raspy from years of inhaling chemical vapors in his youth, and said: "That is the first line."...

The Patient from Below
Dr. Evelyn Blackwood had been treating soldiers for fourteen months when she began to suspect that the war was happening inside their heads. The facility was a converted country estate outside New Carthage, all white corridors and padded rooms and the faint smell of carbolic and iodine. It housed the military's most difficult cases: men and women who had been brought back from the front lines...

The Golden Fox's Tithe
The rope descended into the dark like a thread offered by a spider. Henry stood at the mouth of the shaft and looked down. Sixty feet of Yorkshire stone, swallowed by shadow. The seven of them had prepared for this—the ropes braided from hemp, the lanterns packed in oilcloth, the iron pitons hammered into the rock face at dawn. Arthur was not there. Arthur was at home, having just brought their...

The Last Guardian of the Galactic Core
ACT I: THE ANOMALY Admiral Helena Vance stood on the observation deck of the starship Persephone and watched the galactic core burn. It was beautiful, in the way that destruction was always beautiful when viewed from a safe distance. The core was a sphere of pure white light, slowly expanding, consuming everything in its path. Planets, stars, asteroid belts, entire nebulae—all being absorbed...

The Crucible of Whitechapel
The fog rolled through Whitechapel like a living thing, thick and yellow as old beer, tasting of coal smoke and the Thames. Joshua Cohen pulled his threadbare coat tighter and kicked the stone that lay where a ball should have been. It clattered against the brick wall of a shuttered bakery, the sound swallowed instantly by the fog. Joshua was sixteen, Jewish, and thin in the way that Eastern...
