Act I: The Architecture of AmbitionManhattan was not a city to the inhabitants of the Upper East Side; it was a chessboard, and the skyscrapers were merely the markers of who held the most power. Clara was a master of the game, an ambitious M&A lawyer whose reputation for ruthlessness was matched only by her ability to find the one loose thread in a thousand-page contract. She didn't believe in love; she believed in leverage. To...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 1 Views 0 Vista previaPlease log in to like, share and comment!

The Manhattan Mirror (Variant V-06)I have always been an expert at watching. As a journalist for the New York Chronicle, my job is to find the cracks in the polished facades of the city's elite. Maya, that's me. And for the last six months, my favorite subject has been the "Perfect Couple": Julian Sterling and Clara Thorne. From the outside, they were a fairy tale. Julian, the golden boy of aviation, and Clara, the ethereal...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 7 Views 0 Vista previa

The Velvet Predator(V-09: Decadent Tragic) Fin-de-siècle Paris was a city of gold and rot, and Camille was the most exquisite flower in the garden of the damned. A dancer at the Moulin Rouge, she moved like a ribbon of smoke, her every gesture a poem of longing. But Camille was a prisoner of her own beauty, a toy for the bored aristocrats who paid for the privilege of watching her break. The betrayal came from...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 6 Views 0 Vista previa

Through Her Eyes: The MineI should not have come. I knew that on the drive up from New Orleans, as the paved road gave way to gravel and the gravel gave way to dirt and the dirt disappeared entirely beneath the tires of our rented Ford. I knew it when the trees grew thicker, darker, closing around us like the fingers of a giant hand. I knew it when we reached the trailhead and saw the sign nailed to a tree: PRIVATE...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 8 Views 0 Vista previa

The Owner in the MirrorThe first time I saw her, she was looking at me from the surface of a spoon. I was sitting in my apartment—the one with no windows on the fourth floor of a building on the east side of Manhattan that the landlord forgot to demolish—and I was eating soup from a can I had found in the pantry behind the sink. The spoon was dirty, but I wiped it on my shirt and the reflection was clear enough....0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 10 Views 0 Vista previa

THE LAST ARCThe telegraph wires were singing at midnight. Not a metaphor. Lieutenant Isabella Cole heard it with her own ears—a high, keening whine that ran down the line of copper cable from the field station to the generators three hundred meters away. It was the sound of electricity escaping its pipes, of a thing that should have been contained breaking free. She pressed her headset to her ears. Static....0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 8 Views 0 Vista previa

The Blue BatchAngelo Castellano first tasted the stuff on a Thursday night in February, in the back room of a speakeasy on Wabash Avenue where the jazz was loud enough to hide a murder and usually had to. The year was 1925, and Prohibition had been the law of the land for five years, which meant that men like Angelo — thirty-two, Italian, possessed of a square jaw and a quiet manner that people mistook for...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 9 Views 0 Vista previa

Tommy DeLuca was the kind of man people forgot while they were still looking at him.He was thirty-seven in 1965, a small-time fixer with connections to the underclass in a city where the underclass stretched for hundreds of miles and included everyone from dockworkers to drug dealers to men who ran numbers operations out of basement apartments in Queens. Tommy was not smart enough to be dangerous and not dumb enough to be irrelevant. He occupied the space between—visible...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 9 Views 0 Vista previa

The Mercy of the CrowsThe Mercy of the CrowsI.The land does not forgive. It remembers.Jasper Beauregard learned this on his third day in Delta, when he stood in a cotton field at four in the morning and felt the humidity rise off the Mississippi soil like a breath from something that was not quite alive and not quite dead, and understood for the first time in his life that he was standing on ground that had...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 13 Views 0 Vista previa

THE STARS OF EVELYN MARCHETTIThe funeral was over on a Thursday in November. Chicago was cold in a way that felt deliberate—as if the city itself wanted to remind us that winter was coming and nothing in your life mattered to it. I stood at the graveside in a black suit that had been my father's first and now was mine by necessity, and I watched them lower him into the ground. My father was dead. He had been dead for...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 10 Views 0 Vista previa

The Crystal SleepThe fog of the English countryside had a way of swallowing houses whole, and Blackwood Manor was no exception. It was a place of damp stone and whispering corridors, where the light always seemed to be filtered through a layer of grey silk. Isabella, a woman of science and solitude, spent her days in the conservatory, surrounded by minerals that glowed with an unnatural, pale light. She had...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 6 Views 0 Vista previa

The Bio-LeviathanThe world did not end with a bang, but with a heartbeat—a single, synchronized pulse that echoed across every continent. Director Thorne stood in the Apex, a spire of obsidian and light that pierced the stratosphere. Below him, the Earth looked like a glowing circuit board. Every human being on the planet was now connected to the Aegis Grid, a global biological monitoring system that Thorne had...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 7 Views 0 Vista previa
