  • Four Rooms Where the Dead Still Speak
    The house on Mulholland Drive had four rooms that mattered. The kitchen, where Arthur Callahan took his meals alone and spoke to no one. The bedroom, where Eleanor's mother had slept for thirty-one years and where her side of the bed still held the shape of her absence like a photograph developed in grief. The living room, where Eleanor sat on Sunday afternoons and tried to make her father talk...

  • The Last Beacon of Andromeda
    [Act I: The Spark] The void of space is not empty; it is a canvas of silence. The void of space is not empty; it is a canvas of silence. The void of space is not empty; it is a canvas of silence. The void of space is not empty; it is a canvas of silence. The void of space is not empty; it is a canvas of silence. The void of space is not empty; it is a canvas of silence. The void of space is not...

  • THEY CALLED ME THE FEEDER
    I am a wolf. They call me the feeder. I do not know why. The word does not mean anything to me in the way it might mean something to the two-legged thing I live near. It is just a sound they make. A word. Words do not fill bellies. The two-legged thing is old. Very old. His bones are thin under his fur--no, not fur, cloth. He wears cloth. I have learned to ignore the cloth. It is like a tree...

  • 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 GLASS ALGORITHM
    I Jack Marlowe did not believe in fate. He believed in evidence. Evidence was something you could hold in your hand, something you could examine under a lamp, something you could follow from point A to point B without having to believe in anything you couldn't see. But the Glass Algorithm was making him reconsider. His latest client was a woman named Elena Vasquez. She was twenty-eight, wearing...

  • The Bureau of Redundant Souls
    (Eastern European Absurd Style) In the city of Oskov, the rain did not fall; it drifted in a permanent, charcoal-colored mist that tasted of sulfur and old bureaucracy. The city was governed by the Ministry of Order, a sprawling complex of concrete monoliths where the primary industry was the production of forms to request other forms. In Oskov, a man was not defined by his actions, his...

  • The Lighthouse at the End
    The lighthouse stood on the Dig Islands like a finger pointing at a sky no one in India was allowed to read. Amir Khan arrived in the monsoon season, when the Bay of Bengal turned the color of dirty silver and the wind carried the smell of salt and rotting fish. He was twenty-seven, educated in English at the Government College in Calcutta, and he had been "assigned" to the lighthouse as...

  • Rust Belt Ghosts
    The first post appeared at 3:14 AM on a Tuesday, and Ray was not awake. He knew this because his apartment on East Federal Street in Youngstown, Ohio, faced a brick wall and a alley that smelled permanently of wet cardboard, and at 3:14 AM in February, the only thing Ray was doing was sleeping the kind of shallow sleep that alcohol produces rather than prevents. The post appeared on the...

  • The Fluorescent Corridor
    The bell on the door rang at 2:17 a.m. Frank looked up from the magazine. A man walked in. He smelled like whiskey and rain. "I need a pack of Marlboro," the man said. Frank took them from behind the counter. He put them on the counter. The man put a five-dollar bill on the counter. Frank counted the change. He put the change on the counter. The man took the cigarettes and the change and walked...

  • The Miner's Lamp
    Act I - The Lamp Dale Harper clocked in at 5:47 AM. The clock was digital, green numbers on a black background, and it was located in the lobby of Harlan No. 4 Mine, which sat on a hill above the town of Harlan, West Virginia, which was not really a town anymore but a collection of houses strung along a valley like beads on a broken necklace. Dale was forty-two years old. He had been mining for...

  • PEGASUS IN THE FOG
    The fog rolled in from the Pacific at dusk, turning San Francisco into a city of ghosts. Sam Drake stood on the corner of Powell and Geary, watching the streetcars emerge from the gray like phantom ships, their bells muffled by the mist. He was waiting for a client who was already twenty minutes late. Sam was a private investigator, though the term suggested a glamour that his work rarely lived...

  • The Observer at Omaha
    I first met General Marcus Hale on a Tuesday in March, 1946, at the Omaha military installation where I was assigned as his new aide-de-camp. I was twenty-four, fresh out of the Army Intelligence division, and I carried myself with the particular brand of nervous competence that comes from knowing you've been chosen for a job that's one size too big. Marcus Hale stood six feet two in his boots...
