The Epoch of the Iron Will(Act I: The Dying Light) The Empire of Solara was a sprawling corpse of a civilization, its cities crumbling under the weight of a thousand years of bureaucracy. Kaelen was a soldier of the borderlands, a man who had seen the horizon burn and the forests turn to ash. He didn't seek the throne; he sought a way to stop the bleeding. He was a man of iron and silence, respected by his men not for...0 Comments 0 Shares 30 Views 0 Reviews

The Last Honor of AlistairThe castle of Blackwood stood on a cliff overlooking the grey Atlantic, its stones worn smooth by centuries of salt and wind. It was a place of echoing halls and faded tapestries, a monument to a nobility that had long since lost its purpose. Count Alistair, the last of the line, spent his days in the library, reading the journals of ancestors who had once led armies and shaped kingdoms....0 Comments 0 Shares 19 Views 0 Reviews

The Black SignalThe phone rang at 11:47 PM, which was late even for this city, but not late enough to be surprising. Jack Moranne let it ring twice, then reached across the desk and picked up the receiver with his good hand. The bad one—the one that ended at the wrist where the war had taken everything below—was tucked under his arm, holding a half-empty bottle of bourbon and a notebook that contained more...0 Comments 0 Shares 19 Views 0 Reviews

The Ferry to Raven's PointThe rain in New York has a way of making everything look the same. Same grey sky, same grey streets, same grey men in grey coats hurrying past each other with their collars turned up and their heads down. I was one of those men, or I had been, until the gun incident made me somebody else. Now I was Jack Murray, former NYPD, current PI, and the guy you call when you need something done that the...0 Comments 0 Shares 28 Views 0 Reviews

The Threshold of Echoes(Liminal Fantasy Variation) The town of Oakhaven existed in the spaces between breaths. It was a place where the fog never fully lifted and the clocks all ran at slightly different speeds. To the casual observer, it looked like a sleepy New England village, but to those who lived there, it was a threshold—a waiting room for the things that had been forgotten by the rest of the world. Julian was...0 Comments 0 Shares 55 Views 0 Reviews

The Last OperatorHarlan Graves sat on the base of the radio telescope every night and listened to the wind. He was fifty-two years old and had not worked since the coal mine closed. He had been a miner for twenty-eight years, which meant he had spent more of his life underground than above it. When the mine closed, he emerged into a world that had no use for men who knew how to dig holes in the earth. The town...0 Comments 0 Shares 19 Views 0 Reviews

The Man Who WatchedI am Nick Delaney and I write about things nobody reads for a website called The Brooklyn Beat that gets four hundred visitors a month and pays me in exposure. I am thirty-four years old and I have been thirty-four for six years, which is the New York version of being stuck. The story about Marcus Rivera was supposed to be my breakthrough. A rising star from the Bronx, the article was going to...0 Comments 0 Shares 19 Views 0 Reviews

THE CLOCKTOWER APARTMENTSThe call came at 7 AM on a Tuesday, the kind of morning when Manhattan moves like a machine that forgot to ask if its operators were okay. Detective Marcus Webb rolled out of bed, grabbed his coat, and listened to the telephone on his apartment wall ring three times before he answered. "Webb." "Marcus, it's Homicide. Clocktower Apartments, Upper East Side. Twenty-three residents found dead this...0 Comments 0 Shares 51 Views 0 Reviews

Neon ShadowsLos Angeles was a city of electric lies. Under the relentless glare of the neon signs, the truth was something that only existed in the shadows, and in the shadows, everything had a price. Victor Thorne had spent forty years building a kingdom of silence. As a retired titan of the city's underground trade, he knew where every body was buried and which judges were on his payroll. He lived in a...0 Comments 0 Shares 9 Views 0 Reviews
