Sample V-09: The Accidental Hegemon
The coffee shop in Midtown was a chaotic symphony of espresso machines and shouting commuters. Arthur Pringle, a man whose most defining characteristic was his complete lack of a defining characteristic, was currently trying to figure out how to use a QR code for a blueberry muffin. Arthur did not want to rule the world. In fact, Arthur struggled to rule his own laundry schedule. His ascent to...

The child died on a Tuesday, and Dr. Elias Thornfield stood over the small warm body in the bed that occupied half his waiting room, wondering how something so small could carry so much unsolved mathematics.
Harlem, 1924. The rent party downstairs had just reached its peak — somebody's piano was playing stride with the ferocity of people who needed to forget that tomorrow was Wednesday — and Elias could hear the muffled bass line through the floorboards while he pressed his stethoscope against a chest that had stopped listening. He was thirty-two years old, second-generation Irish American, and he...

The Bottom of Things
I have been cleaning the same subway car on the 4号线 for twenty-five years. Twenty-five years of scraping gum from under seats, wiping stains off vinyl upholstery, emptying trash bins full of coffee cups and newspaper clippings and things I don't want to think about too hard. People on the subway don't look at each other. That's the first rule of riding the subway. You look at your phone, or the...

THE MIRROR IN THE BASEMENT
ACT I: THE WINDOWLESS ROOM Lord Alistair Finch-Worthingham inherited Blackwood Park on a Tuesday in November, which seemed appropriate: Tuesdays were the kind of days on which serious things happened—inheritances, deaths, the slow realization that one's life has been a performance for an audience that stopped watching years ago. The house was exactly as one might expect a country house named...

THE GLASS EYE OF GOD
The laboratory smelled of ozone and old books and something else—something Silas could not name, something that lived just beyond the edges of language, in the space between one word and the next. Lucie Meyer stood in the doorway and felt it immediately: a pressure in her head, not pain but pressure, like the feeling you get on a mountain or in an elevator that drops too fast. The air in the...

Two Frequencies on the Same Street
1925 The narrow house on Grafton Street in the East End of London had been standing for eighty years when a woman named Edith Porter moved into the ground-floor flat. She was twenty-two years old, newly married to a docker named Arthur Porter, and pregnant with a child that would be born dead in the seventh month. The house was damp. The walls were thin. The coal fire in the kitchen produced...

The Interpreter Removed at Midnight
The arrest warrant was signed at 23:47 on December twenty-second by Colonel Marcus Webb, acting director of the Pentagon's Internal Security Directorate, and served at 00:15 on December twenty-third by two military policemen who had been told only that the subject was a civilian contractor suspected of unauthorized use of classified equipment. They found Eleanor Whitmore on the observation deck...

THE LAST ARC
The 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....

The House of High Dimensions
Act I — The Staircase The stairs led to the top. They hadn't been walked in twenty years. Silas Wentworth stood at the bottom, looking up into darkness. The Wentworth estate in Mississippi was a ruin—a once-grand plantation house now held together by rot and stubbornness. Silas was the last Wentworth. At thirty-two, he was thin, quiet, and nervous in a way that made people speak to him softly,...

The Letter-Press Widow
Eleanor Marsh discovered the notebook on a Tuesday, which was appropriate because Tuesdays were the days the fog came thickest through the cracks of Pemberton House. She was supposed to be dusting the library shelves, but the dust motes dancing in the weak winter light had caught her eye and led her to the highest shelf, behind a row of encyclopedias that had not been moved since eighteen...

Act I: The Closing
The mine closed on a Tuesday in October. Tom Brennan stood at the gate with three hundred other men, watching the foreman bolt the doors and spray "CLOSED" in orange paint across the steel rollers. His leg throbbed—the old injury from the No. 4 collapse, three years ago, when eight men didn't come out. Tom was supposed to be one of them. The roof collapsed where he would have been standing, but...
