The Chronicler of ChaosOctober 12th, 1892. The Master has decided that the concept of "Tuesday" is an oppressive social construct and has therefore abolished it within the confines of the estate. We are now to jump directly from Monday to Wednesday. I have spent the morning attempting to explain to the fishmonger that we cannot pay for the trout on a day that no longer exists. He was not amused. My name is Alfred,...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 4 Views 0 AnteprimaEffettua l'accesso per mettere mi piace, condividere e commentare!

The Paradox of SelfThe apartment was a cube of white light and silence. There were no windows, no clocks, and no memories of how the door had been locked. There was only the white wall, the white floor, and the two men. They were identical. Not just in appearance, but in the way they held their shoulders, the way they blinked, and the exact frequency of their breathing. "I remember the rain in Seattle," the first...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 4 Views 0 Anteprima

The Peaceful NameI. The letter arrived on a Tuesday, which Julian Ross found deeply appropriate. Tuesdays were the sort of days that nothing important happened on, the sort of day the world used as a canvas for its quieter mysteries. It came without a return address, sealed with wax the colour of dried blood. The handwriting inside was elegant and desperate: Dear Mr. Ross— I write to you because I have heard,...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 4 Views 0 Anteprima

The Starlight Protocol**Manhattan, 1924** The conference hall at the Plaza Hotel smelled of cigarette smoke and expensive perfume. Thomas Webb sat in the back row, half-listening to a professor from Princeton drone on about the thermodynamic implications of stellar evolution. Thomas was thirty-two, a sociology lecturer at Yale, and he had learned long ago that the most effective way to survive an academic conference...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 10 Views 0 Anteprima

The Weight of a Pebble(Act I: The Grey Shift) Sam lived in the town of Oakhaven, where the only thing more consistent than the rain was the sound of the factory whistle. For twenty years, he had worked in the stamping plant, his life a loop of grey concrete and metallic noise. He was a man of habits: the same coffee, the same route to work, the same silence at dinner. He didn't want power; he just wanted the noise...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 5 Views 0 Anteprima

The Mirror of the Unseen(Second Person Variation) You wake up in a room that is not yours, though every object in it feels like a memory you've forgotten. The walls are a faded ochre, peeling like sunburnt skin. There is a mirror in the corner, but when you look into it, you don't see your face. You see a blur of motion, a smudge of charcoal against a white background. You don't remember your name. You only remember...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 6 Views 0 Anteprima

The Archive of Whispers(Act I: The Forbidden Shelf) The village of Oakhaven was a place where the fog never lifted and the clocks always ran slow. Julian was the town's only librarian, a man who preferred the company of dead authors to living neighbors. He spent his days in the basement of the Great Library, a subterranean labyrinth of leather-bound secrets. He was obsessed with the "Chronicles of the Void," a series...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 5 Views 0 Anteprima

The Zero Sum Game## Act I: The Outset The bunker was a concrete cube buried three hundred feet beneath the surface of a nameless desert. There were no windows, no clocks, and no names—only designations. Subject 42, formerly known as Julian, sat on a steel cot, staring at the flickering fluorescent light on the ceiling. He had been here for three years, part of a "behavioral study" on the effects of prolonged...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 18 Views 0 Anteprima

The Ivory HorizonThe humidity of the Congo Basin was a physical weight, a damp shroud that clung to Colonel Alistair Finch's starch-collared tunic. It was 1884, and the map of Africa was being carved into jagged pieces by men in distant European parlors. Finch, a man of the Queen's service and a devotee of the Royal Geographical Society, was not interested in the carving; he was interested in the void. Finch...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 6 Views 0 Anteprima

The Crow on the Hollywood SignThe woman walked into Jack Morane's office at four in the afternoon on a Tuesday in March, and he knew immediately that he was not going to like her. Not because she was dangerous -- she wasn't. Not because she was lying -- she might have been, but so was everybody. He knew he was not going to like her because she was right. And right people are always more dangerous than wrong ones. She did...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 6 Views 0 Anteprima

The Long Island SanatoriumThe jazz played from a gramophone in the corner of the newsroom, a thin reedy sound that barely competed with the clatter of typewriters and the murmur of a hundred men deciding what the world should think. I sat at my desk with a cigarette burning down between my fingers and stared at the telegram on the paper in front of me. Eileen Foster, it said. Last seen: Oakcliff Sanatorium, Long Island....0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 7 Views 0 Anteprima

The Epoch of the Iron Will(Act I: The Dying Light) The Empire of Solara was a sprawling corpse of a civilization, its cities crumbling under the weight of a thousand years of bureaucracy. Kaelen was a soldier of the borderlands, a man who had seen the horizon burn and the forests turn to ash. He didn't seek the throne; he sought a way to stop the bleeding. He was a man of iron and silence, respected by his men not for...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 5 Views 0 Anteprima
