The Fox at Blackwood Fen
The fog came down the Thames like a shroud, thick and yellow, and Arthur Blackwood pulled his coat tighter as he pushed through the alley behind Whitechapel Road. The tenement smelled of coal smoke and boiled cabbage and something older, something that had seeped into the lath and plaster and would never leave. He climbed the stairs three at a time, his boots ringing on the rotting wood, and...

The Cleaner's Ledger
The rain in Manhattan always felt like it was trying to wash away something that refused to leave. Marcus sat in his black sedan, the windshield wipers rhythmic and hypnotic, watching the entrance of a luxury brownstone in the Upper East Side. Marcus was a "Cleaner" for the Longevity Club. The Club was a collection of the world's most powerful people who had hacked their biology to live for...

"Already boiling, Doctor."
She looked at him, and for a moment -- just a moment -- he saw something in her face that was not scientific excitement or academic ambition. It was fear. Not her fear. The fear of someone who had looked into something vast and dark and realized that what she saw was real.Then the moment passed. She nodded and returned to her books.By May, the media had discovered her. A reporter from the Times...

Sample V-01: The Last Sentinel
(Victorian Melancholy Style) The steam-driven heart of the *Chronos* beat with a rhythmic, dying thrum, a metallic pulse that echoed through the mahogany-paneled corridors of the last sanctuary of man. Arthur sat in the Solarium, the only room where the artificial light mimicked the pale, ghostly gold of a London autumn. He was dressed in a frock coat of charcoal wool, his cravat tied with a...

The woman who walked into Jack Hudson's office on a rainy Thursday in November 1954 wore a red dress that cost more than Jack's entire apartment and eyes that cost more than the red dress.
"I need you to find someone," she said, standing in the doorway without invitation, water dripping from her coat onto the linoleum floor. "A man. He disappeared three weeks ago. His name doesn't matter. What matters is that he carried something that could burn this city to the ground." Jack didn't look up from the bottle of cheap whiskey he was drinking straight from the neck. "Everyone carries...

The Poet's Last Signal
The Poet's Last Signal Act I: The Letter The letter arrived on a Thursday in October, 1962, and it was written on paper that was too expensive for a government letter and too thin for the kind of news it contained. Dr. Robert Finch was a poet who had accidentally become a physicist, which was not the way it looked on paper—he had a PhD from MIT, he had published three papers on quantum...

ACT I
Dr. 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...

The Threshold: A Fuzzy Logic Story of Small Compromises
Los Angeles, 1987. The city was a collection of thresholds, and Rick Delaney had spent twelve years learning to cross them one at a time without noticing that he had crossed more than he realized, that the sum of small crossings exceeded the distance between the man he was when he started and the man he had become, that there was no single moment at which he had changed, no turning point, no...

The Patient from Below
ACT I: THE SIGNAL Dr. Vivian Marsh first noticed the pattern on a Tuesday night, during the kind of shift that makes you question every life decision that led to you standing in a hospital corridor at 2 AM holding a cup of cold coffee. She was a third-year neurosurgery resident at Massachusetts General—twenty-nine years old, first generation college, the only person in her family who had ever...

The Berlin Frequencies
The first time the information changed, it was an accident. It was October 1962. The city of Berlin was divided by a wall that had been standing for fourteen months, long enough for the people on both sides to stop expecting it to fall and start learning to live around it. The air in West Berlin smelled of coal smoke and damp concrete and something else—something metallic, like the static from...

The letter from the reporter sat on Jack Morano's desk like a loaded gun.
He did not pick it up. He did not need to. He had read the first paragraph already, and it was exactly what he had expected: a quiet, careful question about the germination rates of Harvest Seven seeds in the Central Valley. The reporter, a young man named Ellis who worked for the Los Angeles Times, had not accused him of anything. He had simply asked for data. Data. The word tasted like copper...

Tamed Beast
The carriage jolted over the last hill and the house appeared—not a house so much as a monument to other people's property. White-painted brick, black shutters, a gate that groaned when the keeper opened it. Clara stood at the window and pressed her palm against the glass, leaving a smear. He stood in the back of the carriage, wrapped in a wool blanket that was not his size. His feet—bare,...
