The Hunger of GraceThe town of Oakhaven had been erased from the map, replaced by a red zone of quarantine. For forty days, the plague had turned the streets into a gallery of corpses and the houses into tombs. The air was thick with the smell of bleach and decay, and the only sound was the distant, rhythmic tolling of a bell that no one was left to ring. Martha and Jane were trapped in a small, two-room cottage...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 4 Views 0 Vista previa

Six Cattle on the Prairie## Act I The Kansas prairie did not greet him. It simply existed, vast and indifferent, as it had existed for ten thousand years before any human foot had crossed it, and as it would continue to exist ten thousand years after his bones had bleached white beneath the same merciless sun. Caleb Hayes stood at the edge of the trading road near what would one day be called Dodge City, and looked out...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 3 Views 0 Vista previa

Deep Space Echo - V5: The Last Transmission (Contemporary Literary (Dual Timeline))The first thing you should know is that Arthur Pendleton was not a lonely man when he began. He was a man who had decided, with the full weight of his sixty-three years, that loneliness was the price of attention, and he was willing to pay it. The apparatus lived beneath the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, in a space that had previously served as a coal storage room and before that, perhaps, as...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 7 Views 0 Vista previa

THE MARSH EXCHANGE--- ## Act I — The Entering The Louisiana sun hung over the bayou like a coin dropped in swamp water—dull, tarnished, heavy with the promise of rain that never came. It was the autumn of 1887, and the Thibodeaux plantation stood crooked against the horizon, its white pillars yellowed like old teeth, its verandas sagging under the weight of Spanish moss that draped from the live oaks the way a...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 6 Views 0 Vista previa

The Keeper of WolvesThe Keeper of Wolves The rifle felt heavy in Robert Calloway's hands, though it weighed no more than eleven pounds and he had carried heavier things in France. He knew this because his shoulders still remembered the weight of a pack howitzer and the heavier weight of a boy from Brooklyn named Feinstein who had carried nothing but a radio and died for it in the Argonne. Wisconsin, October 1922....0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 4 Views 0 Vista previa

The Sixty-Second PercentFor two years, the number sat in Sarah Miller's mind like a stone in a shoe. Sixty-two percent. It was not a statistic. Statistics were abstractions, and abstractions could be handled, could be filed away in the part of the brain that stored information about things that happened to other people. Sixty-two percent was not an abstraction. It was the conversion rate increase for the target...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 4 Views 0 Vista previa

The Recipe That Misremembered ItselfThe Recipe That Misremembered Itself The Recipe That Misremembered Itself I. Eleanor Blackwood's mother had written the recipe for consommé à la royale in 1961, in Lyons, in a notebook she bought from a stationer on the Rue de la République. The notebook was leather-bound, with a red ribbon bookmark and pages lined in pale blue. The recipe occupied pages twelve through fifteen, written in...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 6 Views 0 Vista previa

The Last Time She Smiled at HimThe last time Sarah Miller smiled at Julian Cross, it was raining in San Francisco, which meant the streets were empty and the coffee shops were full and the people who had come to change the world were discovering that the world did not want to be changed by people who paid eight dollars for cold brew. She was walking out of the Salesforce Tower for what she knew would be the last time, and...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 6 Views 0 Vista previa

The Algorithm That Built Its Own GodIn the beginning, there was engagement. And engagement was good. The engineers who built Echo AI did not think of themselves as priests, but they had a theology. Their theology was simple: more engagement equals more value, more value equals more progress, more progress equals more good. Like all theologies, it was designed to be unfalsifiable, because any criticism of engagement could be...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 7 Views 0 Vista previa
