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...

Everything Is Fine
Everything Is Fine Act I Lizzie Moran sat at a plastic table in the back corner of Tony's Pizzeria on Flatbush Avenue, drinking coffee that cost two dollars and tasting like it had been sitting on the warmer for three hours. She had been sitting there for forty-five minutes, not reading anything, not looking at her phone, just watching the door and the people who came through it and the people...

The Performance of Piety
(V-08: New York Modernism) In the penthouse of the Azure Tower, the air was filtered to a clinical perfection, and the silence was a commodity that only the ultra-rich could afford. My father, the billionaire patriarch of the Sterling empire, had died three weeks ago. Or so the world believed. My brothers—Julian, Marcus, and Adrian—were masters of the image. They knew that the family's stock...

The Last Schoolmaster
The schoolhouse stood on a hill outside Philadelphia, visible from the road as a small stone building with a single bell and a flagpole that held no flag. Inside, Aodhan MacAllister was teaching Euclid's Proposition 47 to three children who were too young to understand why it mattered. "Listen," he said, tapping the chalkboard. "When the square is constructed on the hypotenuse of a right...

The Last Silent Film
The Last ReverserSeptember 12, 1926The party was a success. By which I mean that twelve people arrived, five of them slightly intoxicated, and one—Miss Pembroke—arrived precisely at 9:00 PM and asked immediately if there would be music. There was. I had hired a pianist from the Palm Court. She played Gershwin. She played it well. I watched her from the doorway, a glass of something amber in my...

The Diminishing Hope
The town of Oakhaven was a place where the wind didn't blow; it wheezed, carrying the metallic tang of the Great Smelters that dominated the horizon. Here, the sky was a permanent shade of bruised purple, and the people were as grey as the ash that coated every windowsill. Kane was a scrap-hauler, a man whose body had been broken by a childhood accident and further eroded by the caustic air of...

The Starlight Manuscript
The ink shimmered because Elias refused to look at it directly. That was the first rule the manuscript had taught him, though he had not yet learned that it was a rule and not merely an observation. He sat at a small table in the back room of the Greenwich Village shop, the bead curtain rustling with each passing customer, and watched the silver letters on the yellowed page pulse with a light...

The Seed of Eternity
The war for the Last Cradle had lasted three centuries, a grinding machine of attrition that had turned the star-cluster into a graveyard of scorched husks. The Cradle—the only planet left with a breathable atmosphere and liquid water—was no longer a home; it was a prize. Clara stood on the bridge of the *Aethelgard*, watching the fleet maneuvers on the holographic display. Around her, the...

The Weekend Tyrant
I. The free bookstore was in a church basement on the south side, and it was run by a woman named Martha who looked like she had been made out of leftover parts—too thin, too tall, with a face that had forgotten what it was supposed to do but kept forgetting anyway. She handed me a book without looking at me, the way you hand a cigarette to someone you've seen before but don't know....

The Same Book
I have read the same book every night for thirty years. It does not change. I am the one who changes. When I first came to Paris in the spring of 1924, I was twenty-four years old and came with two things: a bag of money that would run out in six months, and a hunger that money could not feed. I had graduated from the University of Illinois with a degree in English literature, and my...

The first time I noticed something was wrong with Daniel, he was making coffee in his apartment on the Upper East Side and talking to himself in a language I didn't recognize.
It was a Tuesday in March. I was visiting—partly to drop off some books he had lent me, partly because I had nothing better to do, which was becoming a pattern in my own life that I was trying not to name. Daniel answered the door in sweatpants and a t-shirt that said something in Latin, and his hair was wet from the shower, and he was stirring coffee with a fork. "Hey, Soph," he said. "Come...

THE DARK CIRCUIT
The radio in the break room had been broken for three weeks and Jack Murdock kept meaning to fix it and kept not meaning to fix it, which was typical of Jack Murdock—he kept meaning to do things and kept not doing them, which was how you ended up thirty-four years old, drafted into a war you didn't understand, fixing electrical equipment in a hole beneath the earth. "Come on, you old bitch," he...
