The Things That Stayed After the DustThere is a leather-bound notebook on the kitchen table, and in it a man named Elias Thorne wrote the names of seven people who danced in a circle on the front lawn on the night of May 17, 1933, and beneath those names he wrote the word prayer, and then he wrote the word no, and then he wrote the word yes, and then the page ended with a ink smudge that someone pressed their thumb into before the...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 1 Visualizações 0 AnteriorFaça Login para curtir, compartilhar e comentar!

Nobody's GirlThe coffee at the warehouse break room tasted like it had been brewed yesterday and then brewed again. Tina Marsh drank it anyway because caffeine was the only thing keeping her awake during the night shift and the diner tip jar was not going to fund a trip to California any time soon. Steve Kowalski sat across from her at the plastic table, eating a sandwich that looked like it had been made...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 1 Visualizações 0 Anterior

The Judge of Bayou CreekThe coat was charcoal gray and smelled of camphor and old rain. Elias Thorne had bought it from a charity shop in New Orleans for two dollars the week before he decided to leave the city. It was too warm for July, but he wore it anyway because it made him feel like a man who still had somewhere to be. He had not had somewhere to be for eleven months. That was how long it had been since the...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 3 Visualizações 0 Anterior

The Iron Ring Over Wuthering MoorThe ring appeared on a Tuesday in October, 1888, and no one in the county could agree on what it was. Eleanor Ashworth stood at the window of Ashworth Manor, her breath fogging the cold glass, and watched the thing hang in the sky above the moors. It was not a cloud. It was not a storm. It was a ring—an enormous, terrible ring of dark metal that seemed to swallow the light around it, hanging in...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 1 Visualizações 0 Anterior

The green light appeared over the orchard on a humid Tuesday in June, and Silas Duval was twelve years old and too young to understand that some things you see once will haunt you for the rest of your life.He was standing on the porch of the plantation house, watching his parents walk through the apple orchard that had belonged to his family for three generations. The light had come from the swamp, moving through the cypress trees like a living thing—spherical, luminous, impossibly green—and it was heading directly toward his parents, who were standing among the apple trees inspecting the...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 6 Visualizações 0 Anterior

The Mathematical EndThe universe is not made of atoms or energy. It is made of logic. And logic, as I have discovered, is a fragile thing. I am Zero, the High Logician of the Prime Lattice. My existence is a series of perfect equations, a life spent in the pursuit of the Absolute Truth. For eons, we lived in a state of mathematical grace, our civilization a crystalline structure of pure reason. We had solved the...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 5 Visualizações 0 Anterior

The Lustre of the Ordinary(V-11: Minimalist Realism) Jane worked on Assembly Line 4 at the Oakhaven Plastics Plant. Her life was a sequence of repetitive motions: pick up the part, snap it into the mold, slide it to the left. The factory was a cathedral of grey noise and fluorescent light. One Tuesday, while cleaning a clogged drainage grate in the parking lot, Jane found a pearl. It was iridescent, the size of a...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 5 Visualizações 0 Anterior

The Velvet RebellionThe London of 1890 was a city of rigid lines and velvet curtains. Lady Gwendoline was the undisputed queen of the social season, a woman whose approval could make a career and whose frown could destroy a dynasty. She was a master of the "Social Game," a complex system of cues, whispers, and strategic alliances. But Gwendoline had a secret: she was an entity of pure social energy, a "Glamour"...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 844 Visualizações 0 Anterior

The Labyrinth of SighsThe castle of Blackwood sat upon a jagged cliff in the Scottish Highlands, a grey monolith perpetually besieged by the mist. Inside, the corridors shifted like thoughts, and the wind howled through the rafters like a choir of the damned. Julian was the master of Blackwood, a writer who believed that the walls of his home were porous, allowing the grief of his ancestors to leak into the present....0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 13 Visualizações 0 Anterior

The ArenaThe Arena ACT I The porch had given up three years ago, and Silas O'Donnell sat on what remained of it like a man who had lost the argument with gravity and decided, out of pride or exhaustion, to stop falling. The sun over the Mississippi delta did not set so much as suffocate—each evening it sank behind the dead cotton fields the color of old bruising, and the humidity clung to everything...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 11 Visualizações 0 Anterior

The Salon of Sincerity(Act I: Initiation) Paris, 1892. The city was a kaleidoscope of absinthe, velvet, and the delicious scent of decadence. It was the era of the fin de siècle, where the same people who spoke of progress in the morning spent their evenings seeking the most exquisite forms of degeneration. At the heart of this gilded malaise was the salon of the Comte de Valmont, a man whose wealth was as vast as...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 10 Visualizações 0 Anterior
