The First Lady of 5th Avenue## Act I The problem with being the first wife in 1924 was not that you were unhappy. It was that nobody expected you to be. Clara Van der Bilt had married Harrison Chase at twenty-two, and he was at twenty-eight everything a woman of her class should want in a husband: handsome in the way that made women turn their heads and men feel a vague sense of rivalry that they could not quite...0 التعليقات 0 المشاركات 60 مشاهدة 0 معاينة

The piano in the officers' mess played a song called "Black and Blue" and Cassian Thorne hummed along in the corner, his voice barely audible over the clink of glasses and the easy laughter of men who had not yet realized that the war was not over.It was November, 1923, and the armistice had been signed two years ago, but the border between the Republic and the Kash Free Territory remained exactly where it had been in 1918: a line of barbed wire and suspicion that everyone agreed to pretend was a country. Cassian sat on a stool at the edge of the room, a glass of gin in his hand, a pocket watch chain draped across his vest. He was...0 التعليقات 0 المشاركات 43 مشاهدة 0 معاينة

The Peaceful NameI. The letter arrived on a Tuesday, which Julian Ross found deeply appropriate. Tuesdays were the sort of days that nothing important happened on, the sort of day the world used as a canvas for its quieter mysteries. It came without a return address, sealed with wax the colour of dried blood. The handwriting inside was elegant and desperate: Dear Mr. Ross— I write to you because I have heard,...0 التعليقات 0 المشاركات 48 مشاهدة 0 معاينة

Shadows in the SmokeThe rain in Los Angeles didn't fall like rain in other cities. It fell like something that had been held back for too long and was now being discharged with the reluctance of a man paying a debt he never wanted to incur. Jack Moran stood at his office window on East First Street, watching it come down in sheets that turned the neon signs of downtown into blurred watercolours, and thought about...0 التعليقات 0 المشاركات 22 مشاهدة 0 معاينة

The Man Who Owned HerThe Man Who Owned Her Sunny woke up in a motel off I-94 with a headache that felt like someone was driving a nail into her temple. The room smelled like cigarettes and old carpet and whatever the previous guest had left behind in the shower. She counted the cracks in the ceiling. One, two, three, four. The number did not matter. She remembered bits. A bar. A man with a truck. A bag of something...0 التعليقات 0 المشاركات 55 مشاهدة 0 معاينة

The Gray SanatoriumThe rain in Chicago does not fall. It arrives like a verdict. I got to Graystone Sanatorium at four in the afternoon. The ferry from Wacker Drive cost me five dollars and a letter of introduction I did not ask for. The woman who hired me — Mrs. Edith Ashworth, silver-haired, silver-toothed, the kind of money that buys its own sunlight — told me her daughter Claire had gone there for "rest" and...0 التعليقات 0 المشاركات 65 مشاهدة 0 معاينة

The Roadside ManACT I A man stood on the side of Route 83. He was not tall. He was not short. He wore a coat that had been brown once. He had no bag. A farmer drove by in a pickup truck. He saw the man and slowed down. The man did not wave. He did not smile. He simply looked at the driver and said: "Your son dies at nineteen." The farmer stopped the truck. He got out. He looked at the man. He looked at his...0 التعليقات 0 المشاركات 13 مشاهدة 0 معاينة

The Heir of Blackwood ManorThe rain had not ceased for seventeen days. It fell upon Manchester like a judgment, drumming against the leaded windows of Blackwood Manor with a persistence that Arthur felt in his teeth. He stood in the doorway of the study, his father's study, and watched the water trace dark paths down the wallpaper that had not been changed since 1873. Three months. Three months since his father's...0 التعليقات 0 المشاركات 36 مشاهدة 0 معاينة

The Mirror of MarrowboneACT I: THE DOCTOR Old Cow was not his name. Nobody knew his name. In Marrowbone, where the asylum had stood for forty years before burning to the ground and leaving only a scar of black brick on the hill, they called him Old Cow because of the way he looked at you—huge, dark eyes that saw too much and gave too little away. He was a doctor of sorts. He treated fevers and set broken bones and...0 التعليقات 0 المشاركات 60 مشاهدة 0 معاينة
