The Silvertone MurdersI The alley behind the Silver Dollar saloon smelled of rain and regret. Jack Moretti leaned against the brick wall, his back to the wet surface, a half-empty bottle of moonshine warming in his coat pocket. The streetlamp above him flickered—the filament was dying, casting a sickly yellow light that made the puddles on the ground look like oil paintings gone wrong. He was twenty-six years old...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 0 Views 0 Vista previaPlease log in to like, share and comment!

The Thames RevivalACT I The river took everything from Thomas Finch, first his wife to the cholera that swept through Wapping in the spring of 1881, then his only son to the colliery collapse two years later that buried young Samuel beneath a cascade of shale and timber. Now Thomas was seventy-two and his hands were as warped as driftwood, knuckles swollen from fifty years of pulling at the Thames' cold throat....0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 3 Views 0 Vista previa

THE QUIET ENDFrank 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...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 5 Views 0 Vista previa

The Coal BeneathAct I: The LegThe staircase at Weatherburn Manor groaned the way old things groan—reluctantly, resentfully, but faithfully. Eliathas Weatherburn took each step one at a time, his right leg a prosthetic of wood and leather that clicked softly against each wooden stair, a sound as regular as a clock and twice as unreliable.He reached the second floor and pulled himself along the banister,...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 5 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 5 Views 0 Vista previa

ACT IDr. Julian Frost found his own biography in a Taiping archival document, written in 1854—twenty years before he was born. The discovery happened on a Tuesday, in the imperial archives of Tianjing, where Julian had spent the last three months cataloging rebel propaganda and religious texts for his forthcoming Oxford publication. He was thirty-two, a man of meticulous habits and rational...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 13 Views 0 Vista previa

Sample V-11: The Glass Ceiling of Manhattan(Style B1: New York Urban) Julian lived in a world of polished marble and silent elevators. He was a teacher at St. Jude's, an elite private academy in Manhattan where the tuition cost more than a house in the Midwest. His students were the children of senators, CEOs, and hedge fund managers—children who were born with the world in their pockets. Julian was an outsider. He had grown up in a...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 13 Views 0 Vista previa

The White Horizon (V-14: Psychological Horror / Apocalyptic)The cold was not a temperature; it was a physical weight, a crushing pressure that turned breath into ice and hope into a memory. Kael sat in the observation nest of Outpost Zero, the last human sentinel on the frozen edge of the world. Outside, the White Horizon stretched infinitely in every direction, a blinding, featureless void. The war had long since ceased to be about ideology or...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 1 Views 0 Vista previa

The Heretic of JerusalemThe dust of Jerusalem was a mixture of limestone and dried blood, a grit that settled in the lungs and tasted of ancient grievances. Arthur had arrived in the city not as a conqueror, but as a ghost. He had been an archaeologist in London, a man of maps and carbon-dating, until a collapse in a hidden vault had thrown him back seven centuries into the heart of the Third Crusade. He had been...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 4 Views 0 Vista previa

The Merit EngineThe Merit Engine Maya O'Sullivan discovered the Merit Engine on a Thursday in October, when the sweat on her back from the garment factory had dried into salt lines on her dress and she needed something to hold that would make the next fourteen hours feel less like a sentence. The university building where Professor Whitfield had taught was locked, but the side door near the stairwell had a...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 14 Views 0 Vista previa

ACT IThe Beauregard plantation looked like a dying animal: magnificent once, now skeletal, its ribs of white columns protruding through peeling paint like bone through rotting flesh. Elias Thorne stood at the gate and felt something he hadn't felt since Boston, something that was almost sympathy. He had come south as a Union intelligence officer, armed with maps and coded messages and a conviction...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 15 Views 0 Vista previa
