The Black HighwayThe rain in Los Angeles didn't wash anything clean. It just made the grime slicker, turning the streets of downtown into mirrors that reflected neon signs and broken promises in equal measure. Veronica Cross watched the rain from the window of the bar on Sunset Boulevard, her reflection superimposed over the yellow streaks of taxi lights on the wet pavement. She looked like a woman who knew...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 3 Views 0 Vista previa

The False CartographerThe False Cartographer The gold was there. I knew it because the government maps said so, and the government maps don't lie — not unless someone pays them to. I'm Jack Morrison. I used to draw maps for the federal survey service before I realized most of them were faked by men in suits who'd never held a theodolite in their lives. Now I draw other people's problems for people who can afford...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 9 Views 0 Vista previa

The First and Last WarThe night before Hastings, Roland de Bayeux could not sleep. He sat on a wooden crate in Duke William's camp, sharpening his sword with a whetstone. The rhythmic scrape-scrape-scrape was the only sound he could hear over the distant murmur of ten thousand men preparing for battle. Around him, soldiers checked their armour, tested their swords, whispered prayers to gods they weren't sure were...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 8 Views 0 Vista previa

变体 V-10: The Mirror's Edge (哥特风格)# 变换方案: T10-08 (恐怖诗意) | M₇+3.0, M₄+4.0 The manor of Valerius stood on a cliff overlooking a churning, gray sea. Inside, the air was thick with the scent of lilies and old wax. Elara was the ward of the house, a girl of fragile health and an imagination that often blurred the line between reality and nightmare. Julian was the master of the house, a man of unsettling beauty and a voice that...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 5 Views 0 Vista previa

The Last Pillar of House ThorneThe rain in the valley had not stopped for forty days, turning the ancestral lands of the Thorne family into a swamp of grey mud and dying hopes. Beatrice stood on the balcony of the great house, watching the fog swallow the distant hills. The manor, once a beacon of power and prestige, was now a crumbling shell, its tapestries moth-eaten and its hearths cold. Beatrice's engagement to Julian...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 10 Views 0 Vista previa

The-Ambassador-of-EternityThe Ambassador of Eternity The data screen glowed blue in the observation chamber's sterile darkness. Dr. Elena Vasquez read the numbers three times, each time with the same feeling: not surprise, not grief, but a terrible, settled certainty that she had known would come. Terminal neural degeneration. Six months, perhaps eight. The same disease that had taken her mentor, her father, and — she...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 4 Views 0 Vista previa

Rook's-WarRook's War The dust on Mars has a colour that has no name in any human language. It is redder than red and darker than brown, a colour that exists at the intersection of blood and rust. You learn to stop trying to describe it after the first month. You just call it dust. I have been on this rock for nineteen years. Nineteen years of recycled air, recycled water, recycled everything. New Hope...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 4 Views 0 Vista previa

The Bayou Serpent's RestThe Bayou Serpent's Rest The fog rolled off the Mississippi at dawn, thick and warm as breath on skin, and Samuel Durand stood at the edge of his grandfather's land and watched it move through the cypress trees like something alive. He had come down from New Orleans three days ago, carrying a surveyor's chain and a head full of calculations. What he found instead was something the...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 6 Views 0 Vista previa

The Man Who Cooked NothingThe soup was thin today. I stirred it with the wooden spoon and watched the surface ripple. There were turnips in it. Maybe three, maybe four, cut into chunks the size of my fist. There was barley, a handful at most. There was water. There was salt, because salt is cheap and it makes everything taste like something even when there is nothing in the pot but water and salt. I stirred it again....0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 7 Views 0 Vista previa
