The Wurm
The pharmacy was on Main Street in a town that Main Street had forgotten. Frank Miller had owned it for seven years. Seven years of sitting behind the counter, watching the parking lot, waiting for people who mostly didn't come. He was fifty-two. He wore the same clothes every day—blue slacks, white shirt, a cardigan in winter. His hair was gray and thin. He had a receding hairline that had...

The Question of Scale
On the fourth day at sea, I realized I had not heard another human voice in three days. The Atlantic does not care about this kind of thing. It does not care that I am a man who needs to hear voices, even meaningless voices, even the voices of people who dislike me. The Atlantic is old and large and indifferent, and it has been indifferent to larger things than me for longer than me. I adjusted...

The Patient from Below
The asylum had been closed for twenty years before the Sleep came, but the children of Boston knew it by reputation the way children know about forbidden places: through whispers and warnings and the peculiar silence that falls over a room when someone mentions the Holloway Asylum in a voice that suggests they have been told not to speak of it at all. Theo Ashworth had never been inside. He was...

The Black Meridian
Act I The desert below Las Vegas had a colour that Jack Mercer had never seen in nature, not really. It was the colour of dried blood and ground copper, a rusty orange that the sun bleached to white during the day and turned to black at night. Beneath that colour, at a depth of twelve hundred feet, was something the government called the Meridian Complex and Jack called a tomb. He had known it...

The Last Sunrise of London
The fog of 1892 did not merely cling to the cobblestones of Whitechapel; it swallowed the soul. For Arthur, the world had become a series of damp, echoing tunnels and the rhythmic, oppressive thud of iron hammers. He was a man of granite and soot, a foreman of the new underground rail, whose only language was the silence of the earth. Then came Clara. They had been children of the same dusty...

Echoes in the Glass (玻璃回声)
Echoes in the Glass (玻璃回声) Variant 3 of MirrormirrorLiuCixin Style: Literary Speculative Fiction / 文学幻想镜子记得每一面镜子都有记忆。这不是诗人的比喻，而是事实。当你凝视一面足够清晰的镜子时，你看到的不仅仅是此刻的你——你还看到了过去的所有瞬间。镜子忠实地记录着每一个经过它面前的人、每一个在它表面停留的目光、每一滴溅落在它上面的泪水或雨水。陈继锋警官不知道这一点，至少在他第一次面对那面镜子之前不知道。那面镜子在一个不起眼的办公室里——不是办公室，也许应该叫"观测室"。墙壁由一面面巨大的镜片组成，每一面都映出不同时刻的陈继锋：他年轻时刚入警时的模样，他第一次出警时的紧张，他第一次失去搭档时的悲痛，他第一次理解什么是"灰色地带"时的那个下午。 "这不可能，"他说。...

The Opium Requiem
Paris, 1890. The city was a fever dream of absinthe, velvet, and the slow decay of the Belle Époque. Julian lived in a garret that smelled of old paper and opium smoke, his world reduced to the dimensions of a single, stained canvas. He was a poet of the void, a man who sought the 'Absolute' in the depths of his own dissolution. One evening, while drifting in a laudanum haze, a voice spoke to...

The Can of Beans
The bus from Cleveland to Youngstown left at 6:15 and arrived at 8:42. Ellen Marsh sat by the window and watched the factories pass by—some still running, most of them closed, their windows broken and their walls covered in graffiti that said things like WE ARE FORGOTTEN and JOBS LEFT THE BUILDING in letters so large they looked like a scream. She was eighteen years old. Her right arm hung at...

The Gilded Cage of Meridian
The Gilded Cage of Meridian The magnolias were dying. June Beauregard noticed this first thing every morning, before the heat, before the flies, before the house began to groan under the weight of a century it could no longer sustain. Her grandmother's magnolias, planted the year Jefferson Beauregard came home from the war with a Confederate pension and a wife he had married in Augusta out of...

Title: The Hollow Man
Act I: The Tether Kevin lived in the shadow of Martha's love, a love that felt like a slow-motion drowning. In their small house in Ohio, where the cornfields stretched out like a golden prison, every meal was a ritual of gratitude, every silence a test of loyalty. Martha had "saved" him from a foster system that had chewed him up and spat him out, and in return, Kevin had become a ghost, an...

Ashes-of-a-Second-Dawn
第二次的灰烬黎明来了两次。第一次是手术成功那天。金色的光从天窗流进来，像一条河。第二次是眼睛彻底失明那天。黑色的黎明从眼睛里退出去，留下一地的灰烬。灰烬是白色的。白色的灰烬。像一场没有烧完的火留下的最后一声叹息。 --- 第一个奇迹医生说："你明天就能看见了。" "看见什么？" "所有你从来没有看见过的东西。" "比如？" "比如光。" "光我知道。" "你不知道。" 他说的对。我不知道。我不知道光是怎样从天花板上流下来的——像水，但不是水，更重，更暖，更有味道。我不知道光是怎样在墙上投下影子的——影子不是黑的，影子是有形状的。一个杯子的影子像一个黑色的蝴蝶。一个人的影子像一个被压扁的怪物。我不知道光是有温度的。 --- 第二个奇迹我遇见了她。不，她遇见了我。她在医院的走廊里，扶着我——不，是扶着我的胳膊——走到窗边。 "看。"她说。 "看什么？" "树。"...

The Industrialist Thaw
The pressure had been building for forty-three years. Cornelius Hargrave felt it in his bones the way a barometer feels the dropping air before a storm. He stood on the balcony of his brownstone on Fifth Avenue, looking down at the horse-drawn carriages clogging the street below, and he could feel every transaction, every handshake, every silent calculation of the past four decades pressing...
