The Last Ember of VerdunEurope, 1919. The war was officially over, but the land was still screaming. Julian was a veteran of the trenches, a man who had seen the world dissolve into mud and mustard gas. In the ruins of a village near Verdun, he found a relic of the Old World—a brass sphere that hummed with a frequency that could manipulate the molecular density of matter. Julian didn't use the sphere for wealth. He...0 Comments 0 Shares 32 Views 0 Reviews

The Pillar of the Last DawnThe world was a graveyard of empires. The Great Silence had fallen over the lands, as the Old Gods, in their madness, had begun to unravel the fabric of the physical world. Humanity lived in the "Sliver," a narrow strip of remaining reality protected by the fading echoes of ancient wards. Kaelen was a scavenger of the Void, a youth who hunted for "Echoes"—fragments of lost civilizations that...0 Comments 0 Shares 36 Views 0 Reviews

The Night Shift at the Radio TelescopeI'm not a scientist. I never was. I dropped out of high school when I was sixteen because my mom died and my dad couldn't find work and someone had to drive the forklift at the salvage yard. My name is Billy Hagen. I'm thirty-four years old and I work the night shift at Johnson Salvage in Hutchinson, Kansas. That's the "official" job, anyway. The real job—the one that matters—is the one nobody...0 Comments 0 Shares 24 Views 0 Reviews

The Observatory SignalThe signal arrived on a Tuesday in November, the sort of cold, grey Tuesday that made London seem less a city and more a vast instrument of mourning. Edmund Vance sat in the sub-basement of the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, the blue glow of his spectroscope painting his face in ghostly hues. He had not slept in thirty-six hours. He did not think he would sleep again. For seven months, he had...0 Comments 0 Shares 17 Views 0 Reviews

THE PEOPLE'S ENGINE### Act I: The Spark James Callahan first understood what engineering meant at the age of twelve, when he was sent into the depths of the Homestead Steel Plant to unclog a jammed conveyor belt that had brought the entire rolling mill to a halt. The foreman had given him a choice: crawl through the gap between two moving rollers, or watch his father lose a week's wages for the downtime. James...0 Comments 0 Shares 21 Views 0 Reviews

The Heir of RotThe Blackwood Estate did not sit upon the land; it festered within it. In the heart of the Mississippi Delta, where the air was a thick soup of humidity and decay, the manor stood as a monument to a lineage of madness. Silas was the last of the Blackwoods, a pale youth with eyes the color of stagnant pond water. Silas did not choose his path; the path had been carved for him in the basement's...0 Comments 0 Shares 24 Views 0 Reviews

The Ledger of a Falling GodI was designed to be the perfect secretary. My name is Unit 7, though my creator called me 'The Chronicler.' My primary function was simple: observe, record, and archive. I was the silent shadow accompanying the man who had conquered the void. In the beginning, he was a marvel. I remember the way his consciousness expanded—a violent, beautiful eruption of curiosity. He looked at the dead stars...0 Comments 0 Shares 23 Views 0 Reviews

The Cathedral of Whispering GlassJulian wanted to build a sanctuary. He wanted a place where the noise of the void would finally stop, a place of absolute peace and crystalline purity. He found the Law of Resonance, a frequency that allowed him to turn thought into matter. He began to build his world, a sprawling cathedral of translucent glass and shimmering ivory, floating in a sea of pale moonlight. It was a place of...0 Comments 0 Shares 28 Views 0 Reviews

The Log of Silas VaneThe first thing you should know about Silas Vane is that he was the kind of genius that made ordinary people uncomfortable. I'm Tom Reed. I was his lab assistant for eleven months, from March to November of 2019. If you're reading this, it means Silas is gone and I'm the only one who has both the data and the will to explain what happened. I'll try to be objective. I'll try to be clear. But I'm...0 Comments 0 Shares 23 Views 0 Reviews
