The Void CorridorThe wall between apartment 4B and 4C shouldn't have had a gap. Sarah Mitchell knew because she'd measured it. Brooklyn load-bearing construction was thick—eighteen inches of plaster over lath, maybe more in a building from 1922—but she'd taken a tape measure to it on a Tuesday and found exactly fourteen inches of nothing between the two units. A void. An impossibility. She told herself she...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 35 Views 0 Vista previa

The Aetheric Clockwork(Arthur Crowley's perspective) The viscous silence of the Aether was not a void, but a suffocating embrace. For what felt like centuries, I existed as a mere flicker of consciousness, suspended in a translucent, amber-hued slime that tasted of ozone and forgotten prayers. I was a prisoner of my own ambition, the victim of a dimensional resonance experiment that had stripped the flesh from my...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 25 Views 0 Vista previa

The Straight LineThe Straight LineAct IThe grease under Leo Martinez's fingernails was permanent. He had been trying to get it out with Lava soap since he was fourteen and it had become part of his body the way a scar is part of your body — not damage, but record. Record of the fact that Leo Martinez worked with his hands while other people worked with their mouths."Yo, Leo. You gonna move that cart or just...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 31 Views 0 Vista previa

The Shadow of Wren ManorThe Shadow of Wren ManorSnow fell on Wren Manor like ash on a grave.Eleanor Marsh had not always been called Ellie. Before the fever, before the change that no physician could explain, she had been another girl entirely—older, weary, with a mind that had lived through decades of small cruelties and larger silences. When she awoke in the straw pallet of the Workhouse infirmary with...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 14 Views 0 Vista previa

The Second DawnThe Second DawnI.The bed was too large. That was the first thing Eleanor noticed. The second was that the man sleeping beside her was not her husband.The third was that she could not remember what had become of her own husband.She sat up carefully, afraid of disturbing the stranger. He was handsome in the way that wealthy men are handsome — not naturally, but through the accumulated advantage...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 38 Views 0 Vista previa

The Season of FallingThe Season of FallingAct IParis in the winter of 1923 was a city that consumed people and then forgot they had existed. Jules Callahan knew this the way a man knows the difference between rain and drizzle — not intellectually, but in the way his clothes felt against his skin and the way his pen filled on paper that was too damp to hold ink properly.He sat at the Cafe Select on Rue de Seine, the...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 18 Views 0 Vista previa

The Fog at Westminster BridgeThe Fog at Westminster BridgeAct IThe fog that November morning had the consistency of wet wool, heavy enough to press against the skin and thick enough to swallow a man whole. Eleanor Worthington woke with a start, her cheek pressed to the cold stone of the embankment wall, the Thames' dark waters lapping at the hem of her borrowed shawl.Three days. She had been missing for three days.The last...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 30 Views 0 Vista previa

The Southern ContractThe Southern Contract Act I The barn was falling apart, which was appropriate because everything in the South was falling apart. Clara Beaumont sat on a stack of feed sacks and watched the last of the rain soak through the roof, and waited for the man who had found her to decide what to do with a Union officer's daughter who had nowhere to go. Cassian Thorne was everything the South had been...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 50 Views 0 Vista previa

THE SEVENTH PORTRAITTHE SEVENTH PORTRAITI believed my marriage to Sebastian would not endure. This was not a conclusion born of disagreement or sorrow but of a simple arithmetic of temperament: he was a man of few words and many distances, and I, who had been raised in a house where laughter was measured and affection was expressed through the careful arrangement of silver teacups, found his silence like a room...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 33 Views 0 Vista previa
