Signal from EuropaThe station was named Acheron after the river of woe in Greek mythology. Eliot Marsh found this ironic, sitting alone three point two kilometers beneath the surface of Europa, the most hopeless place in the solar system that had ever been given a polite scientific name. He had been the last crew member. Six of his colleagues had rotated back to Earth over the previous six months, each one...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 1 Views 0 previzualizareVă rugăm să vă autentificați pentru a vă dori, partaja și comenta!

The-Memory-BrokerThe Silence Beyond The void outside the observation port had no stars. This was not unusual at the galactic rim, but it was always unnerving. Captain Silas Thorne had been staring into it for seventeen years, and he still found himself expecting the darkness to resolve into something familiar—a constellation, a nebula, the distant glow of a star cluster. The darkness never resolved. It simply...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 1 Views 0 previzualizare

The Symphony of SufferanceJulian's castle in the Alps was a masterpiece of Gothic excess, a labyrinth of obsidian corridors and weeping gargoyles. Julian was a physician of the forbidden, a man who sought to cure the incurable by studying the intersection of biology and agony. His only companion was Nocturne, a three-tailed black cat whose eyes held the depth of a void. Nocturne's gift was a poetic horror. He could heal...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 2 Views 0 previzualizare

THE PARANOIA ENGINEDr. Henry Webb was giving a lecture on cognitive asymmetry at the University of Chicago when a woman in a dark suit handed him an envelope during the question-and-answer period. The lecture hall was mostly empty — it was a Thursday afternoon in April, and most of his students had better things to do. The envelope was plain white, unsealed, and contained a single sheet of paper. The paper held a...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 2 Views 0 previzualizare

The Truth PlagueThe app was called "Truth." It didn't have a logo, just a white circle on a black background. It had appeared on every smartphone in the world simultaneously, an unremovable piece of software that claimed to "end the era of lies." The premise was simple: when you looked at someone through the camera of the app, you didn't see their face; you saw a scrolling ticker of their current, unfiltered...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 3 Views 0 previzualizare

THE WEIGHT OF NOTHING### Act I: The Spark Ethan Cross stood in the supermarket aisle for twelve minutes before making a decision. The decision was about cereal. There were fourteen brands on the shelf, from store-brand corn flakes at three dollars a box to artisanal granola at nine dollars, and Ethan was trying to choose one. Not because he was hungry—hunger was not the issue. The issue was that each choice carried...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 5 Views 0 previzualizare

What the Streets RememberThe problem with being a private investigator in Los Angeles is that nobody tells you the truth. Not the people who hire you, not the people you're looking for, and certainly not the people who hire you to look for the people who don't want to be found. My name is Jack Callahan, and I had been looking for a man named Tommy Delaney for three weeks when I started to notice a pattern. Tommy...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 5 Views 0 previzualizare

The House of Rotting Gold(Act I: The Mossy Gates) The estate of Blackwood Manor sat in the humid heart of the Mississippi Delta, a decaying monument to a glory that had died a century ago. Silas returned to the manor not as a son, but as a scavenger. The house was a labyrinth of peeling wallpaper and weeping willow trees, where the air tasted of salt and old secrets. He had come to reclaim the family's lost prestige,...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 3 Views 0 previzualizare

Blood and MagnoliasI. The magnolias were blooming, which meant summer had arrived in a way that made the air so thick you could chew it. I stood on the porch of the main house and watched the flowers—white, perfect, obscene in their beauty—swaying in a breeze that smelled like damp earth and decay. I was twenty-eight years old, and I was the last Thorne who lived in the house that my great-great-grandfather had...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 5 Views 0 previzualizare

The Other Side of the MirrorThe first session with Client X began on a Monday in March, which is to say it began on a day that was indistinguishable from every other day in my practice. I am Arthur Payne. I am forty-five years old. I am a psychologist with a private practice on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. I specialize in trauma and post-traumatic stress. I have been doing this work for eighteen years. I am good at...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 5 Views 0 previzualizare

The Rain-Slicked Crown(Act I: The Neon Puddle) Los Angeles in 1947 was a city of beautiful lies and ugly truths. Detective Miller sat in his office, the ceiling fan cutting through a thick haze of Lucky Strikes and regret. He had once been the golden boy of the LAPD, but a few "convenient" bribes and a taste for the high life had turned him into a freelance cleaner for the city's underworld. He didn't mind the dirt;...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 5 Views 0 previzualizare

The House of MaudreilThe road to Oakridge was the kind of road that Southern maps forgot to draw—narrow, unpaved, flanked by cypress trees whose knees rose from the swamp water like the knuckles of drowned men. I drove my rental car slowly, the air conditioning rattling like an old man's breathing, and watched the delta landscape unfold in shades of green and brown and the grey of approaching rain. I was...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 5 Views 0 previzualizare
