  • THE PATIENT FROM BELOW
    Dr. Arthur Voss could not remember how he had arrived at the hospital. This was not, strictly speaking, true. He remembered driving through Vienna on a February evening in 1896, the gas lamps casting amber pools on the wet cobblestones, the carriages bouncing over puddles that reflected the windows of the cafés where men sat drinking brandy and talking about the future of the Balkans. He...

  • The Things That Remember
    The dust blew across the Oklahoma landscape in endless grey waves, covering everything in a fine powder that got into your teeth and your lungs and your bones and made you feel like the world was slowly being erased, layer by layer, until nothing remained but the dust itself. The year was 1935, and the Dust Bowl had turned the southern plains into a wasteland that looked like the surface of the...

  • The Grey Chord
    (Act I: The Concrete) Detroit is a city of rusted skeletons and broken promises. I am Sam, and I woke up in a body that wasn't mine, in a room that smelled of damp cardboard and old cigarettes. I had the memories of a lifetime of music—symphonies, pop hits, jazz standards—all locked in a mind that now lived in the slums of the Motor City. I thought this was my chance, my great escape. I had the...

  • The Geometry of Rain
    (V-11: Minimalist Realism) The apartment was a white box. No art on the walls, no rugs on the floor, only a single glass table and a grey sofa. Outside, the New York rain was a constant, vertical grid, blurring the skyscrapers into a smudge of charcoal. June sat by the window. She had been sitting there for three days. She was not waiting for anyone. She was simply observing the rain. She...

  • THE HOLLOW MERIDIAN
    ACT I: THE LOCKED ROOM (20%) The rifle was too heavy for Corinne to lift. It was an old thing—World War I era, maybe older, with a walnut stock worn smooth by a hundred hands and a barrel that had seen more use than any weapon should. It sat on a shelf in the Thorne family library, behind glass, and every person who had entered that room since 1919 had left with the same instruction from...

  • The Alchemist of the Undercity
    (Gothic Style) London, 1852. The city was a beast of soot and shadow, where the fog acted as a veil for the sins of the empire. Deep beneath the cobblestones of Whitechapel, in a cellar that breathed dampness and decay, dwelt Mordred, the last of the Great Alchemists. Mordred did not seek gold. He sought the 'Primordial Flesh'—the original substance from which all life had been woven. For...

  • THE QUIET END
    Frank O'Malley woke at six in the morning. It was not an alarm clock that woke him. It was the habit of waking at six, established twelve years ago in a base camp in the Ho Chi Minh Trail and never broken, even after he broke everything else. He lay in the dark. The apartment was small—one bedroom, one bathroom, a kitchen that was really just a corner with a stove and a refrigerator the size of...

  • The steam arrived before the island did—a gray tongue of vapor slitting through the morning fog off the Thames estuary. Arthur Pendelton gripped the rail of the H.M.S. Blackwood and tried not to think about his stomach.
    Two weeks ago, he would have been fine. Two weeks ago, he was an Inspector with the Royal Investigation Bureau, freshly assigned to the Blackstone Isle matter, cleared for duty, boots polished, service revolver locked in his sea bag. Now he could not tell you whether he had been an Inspector or a lieutenant in the Afghan campaign, whether he had received a medal or a reprimand, whether his...

  • The Architects Ledger
    The Architect's Ledger Act I I have been many things. I have been the first question asked by the first mind that looked at the sky and wondered what was on the other side. I have been the silence between heartbeats, the pause between a man's thought and his action, the space between two notes in a symphony that makes the silence between them matter. I have been called many names, written in...

  • The Perfect Neighbor
    I. The moving truck arrived at 7 AM on a Saturday, which meant Sebastian Vane was the kind of man who moved on weekends—when the neighbors were home to watch. Grace Sullivan stood at her kitchen window on East 78th Street and watched the operation with the detached interest of a woman who had lived in Manhattan long enough to know that spectacle was the only entertainment the city still...

  • The Comet's Tail
    ACT I Observer Seven arrived in New York on a Tuesday in March, wearing a grey suit and carrying a leather briefcase that contained nothing but a notebook and a pen. His name, in this identity, was John Seven. He was twenty-eight years old on paper, though he had no age in reality. He worked at UNESCO as a junior analyst in the Cultural Assessment Division, a department that existed primarily...
