The silence at Blackwater Head began with blood.Edward Ashworth pressed his ear against the cold stone of the lighthouse watchtower, feeling the warm trickle slip between his fingers. His hand came away crimson — the same crimson he had been waking to for eleven months now, every morning, every night, a steady seepage from the ports just behind both ear-drums where the Admiralty's surgeons had drilled into his skull in the winter of 1886....0 Comments 0 Shares 20 Views 0 Reviews

Rust in the Sunshine StateI. The upstairs door shut with a sound like a coffin lid, and Lisa thought nothing of it. It was an old house—the kind of house that was held together with paint and stubbornness—and the door to the upstairs room had never worked right. It didn't lock, exactly. It just sometimes didn't open. "Key's with Karen," she told Mike over the phone. "If I don't come down in three days, go upstairs and...0 Comments 0 Shares 38 Views 0 Reviews

Ashes in the Steel TownI saw him at the Pittsburgh Playhouse on a Thursday night in March. He was in a one-act play about a family that didn't talk to each other, which is to say it was about everyone. He played the son who stays. The play was bad. He wasn't. After the show I went backstage. There was one room, a mirror with bare bulbs around it, and him sitting in front of it taking off his makeup with a wet wipe....0 Comments 0 Shares 44 Views 0 Reviews

The Lie DetectorThe rain in Los Angeles didn't wash anything away; it just made the filth shine. Jack sat in his office, a room that smelled of stale tobacco and old regrets. He was a private investigator who specialized in the things people wanted to forget. He had found the Disk in a locker at the Union Station. It was a heavy, brass circle with an etched eye in the center. The moment he touched it, the...0 Comments 0 Shares 20 Views 0 Reviews

The white banner of Blackwood Manor fluttered in the wind, though no wind blew.Tommy Finch had been dead three weeks when he first saw the white falcon. He was seven years old, small for his age, with hair the colour of weak tea and eyes that noticed things other children missed and other adults chose not to. He lived with his aunt in a cottage half a mile from Blackwood Manor, a place the locals called "the dying house" because the owner was dying and the house was dying...0 Comments 0 Shares 21 Views 0 Reviews

The Society of MasksI Miss Clara Whitfield was late to the Pendleton estate, which was unfortunate, as the invitation had specified two o'clock precisely and Clara had a habit of arriving whenever she arrived, like a letter delivered by a courier who had taken a wrong turn and decided to stay for tea. She had been asked to help organize the annual charitable bazaar—her task was to manage the readings stall, a...0 Comments 0 Shares 24 Views 0 Reviews

The Concrete CoffinThe concrete didn't fall so much as it exhaled—slowly, reluctantly, like a man letting out air he had been holding for forty years. Jack Callahan felt the tunnel ceiling shudder beneath him, heard the sound of rebar pulling free from brick, and had exactly two seconds to decide whether to move or not. He did not move. The reinforced concrete slab, easily six hundred pounds and old as the...0 Comments 0 Shares 36 Views 0 Reviews
