Beneath the Earthfire
I was sixteen when the fire came out of the ground, and I have never stopped watching it burn. My name is Lily Carter, and I was born in Carter County, West Virginia, in a house that leaned slightly to the left, as if it had been pushed and then forgotten. The mountains around us were black with coal dust, and the sky was the color of a bruise. We had always lived like this—digging black rocks...

The Man Who Left
The Man Who Left Danny stood in the hotel ballroom and watched Claire across the room. She was laughing at something her date said, and the laugh was the same laugh it had always been—bright and slightly self-deprecating, the kind of laugh that made you want to say something funny to make her do it again. She looked happy. Not the fake kind of happy that people wear at these things, like a...

The House of Code
I. The house sat on the edge of a cliff that was slowly eating itself. Eleanor Whitfield stood at the edge of the overgrown garden and watched as another section of the bluff collapsed into Chesapeake Bay, taking with it the remains of a rose garden that had not bloomed in twenty years. She was twenty-six years old, a lawyer trained at Johns Hopkins, and she had not planned to return to this...

Dead Physics
The engine would not start. Not because it was broken. Because it simply decided not to. I have been fixing engines for thirty-two years. I know engines. I know the sound of a bad timing belt, the smell of a blown head gasket, the way a worn camshaft makes the valves tick like a metronome set to a tempo of impending failure. I can look at an engine block and tell you what is wrong with it...

The Zero-Sum Therapy
Dr. Elias Thorne believed that fear was a biological error, a vestigial remnant of a primitive past that hindered the evolution of the human mind. His clinic was a masterpiece of minimalist architecture—all white marble, recessed lighting, and an oppressive, humming silence. He called his method "The Absolute Void." The goal was simple: through a series of sensory deprivation cycles and...

The quiet rain
The rain was falling on the hardware store the way rain falls on hardware stores all over the Midwest—not dramatically, not with the kind of intensity that makes you run for cover, but steadily, persistently, the kind of rain that soaks through your coat without you noticing until you are already wet. James Kellerman was behind the counter, counting inventory. Nails. Screws. Washers. The kind...

The Patient from Below
Part I: The Lock Henri Leclerc was thirty-three years old, the youngest mathematics professor at the Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris, and in the spring of 1893 he was on the verge of a discovery that would have changed the course of mathematics. He had been working on hypergeometric functions—specifically, on a class of functions that extended the concept of infinity to higher dimensions. In...

The Iron Wall of Aethelgard
(Variant V-11: Grand Narrative / Epic Scale) The history of the world is not written in ink, but in the blood of those who stood where the world ended. For a thousand years, the Iron Wall of Aethelgard had been the only thing separating the light of civilization from the howling darkness of the Outer Wastes. It was a monument to human defiance, a scar of stone and steel carved into the face of...

The Last Charge of Aethelgard
(Variant V-07: Tragedy Romance / Composite Transformation) The sky over the Borderlands of Aethelgard was the color of a bruised plum, heavy with the promise of a storm that would never break. Adrian Thorne stood atop the ridge, his armor scarred by a hundred skirmishes, his cape a tattered rag that whipped in the freezing wind. Below him, the valley was a sea of steel. The enemy—a nameless,...

The mansion on blackwood hill
The house had been dying for one hundred and fifty years, and Atticus Blackwood was its last physician. Or perhaps its last mourner. He was not sure which. Blackwood Manor stood on a hill above the Savannah River in South Carolina, a sprawling Victorian structure of faded white pillars and purple ivy that had grown over the cracks like a scar tissue trying to hold the building together. The...
