The Last Dance of James O'ConnorI. The bullets came fast and without ceremony, the way death always does when it arrives uninvited. James O'Connor felt the first impact in his left shoulder, spinning him sideways into the brick wall of the alley on Mulberry Street. The second caught him in the chest, right through the wool coat Catherine had bought him for Christmas. He went down hard on the cobblestones, the cold pressing...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 2 Views 0 AnteprimaEffettua l'accesso per mettere mi piace, condividere e commentare!

# The Painter of Universes## Act I: The Studio (20%)The studio was on Cheyne Street, in a building that had once been a warehouse and was now something between an asylum and a gallery, depending on who you asked and how drunk they were when you asked them. Oscar Vale lived on the third floor, in a space so large that the shadows had rooms of their own, and so full of paintings that the walls had ceased to be walls and...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 4 Views 0 Anteprima

Between the Bluff and the AbyssThere is a space between knowing and not knowing, between staying and leaving, between the house on the bluff and the ship that will take you to the stars. In that space, time moves differently. In that space, the water rises slower. In that space, Julian Faulkner, who was twenty-seven years old and had never been anywhere except Charleston County, South Carolina, sat on the veranda of the...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 3 Views 0 Anteprima

The Nodes Between the Lab and the AbyssEvery network has nodes and edges. The nodes are the points where information is stored or processed. The edges are the connections between them, the channels through which information flows. The network of the Alpha Protocol is vast and ancient and still growing. And at its center, at its most critical node, is a broken microbiology professor who flinches when doors slam. I am not that...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 4 Views 0 Anteprima

The Used BoxThe factory closed on a Tuesday. Dale Morrison knew this because he was standing outside when the lights went off, watching the fluorescents flicker and die one by one from the far end of the building to the near end, like a row of candles being blown out by someone who didn't care. Forty-two years old. Twenty-three years at the plant. Waking up at five every morning to drive twenty minutes...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 4 Views 0 Anteprima

The ChicagoThe Chicago DeepAct IThe first sign that something was wrong came from a client named Sarah Chen, who walked into Julian's office on a Tuesday in March and said: "I think my apartment has walls that aren't real."Julian Hayes didn't look up from his desk. He was thirty-four, a virtual reality architect based in downtown Chicago, and he had heard a lot of things in five years of building...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 4 Views 0 Anteprima

The Silent WatchThe bunker was a concrete womb, a windowless void buried three hundred feet beneath the frozen tundra of the Yukon. For Captain Miller, the world had shrunk to the size of a twelve-by-twelve foot control room, illuminated by the flickering amber glow of vacuum tubes and the steady, rhythmic pulse of a single red light. Miller was the last of the "Sleepless." His job was simple: watch the...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 4 Views 0 Anteprima

Seven Steps from InnocenceThe first time William Hartley read his father's logbook, he did it because his father had asked him to. The words were on the very first page, written in the careful copperplate that Oliver Hartley had learned as a Navy cartographer: For William. Read when you are ready. I am sorry I could not tell you myself. There was nothing unreasonable about reading a book your dying father had left for...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 4 Views 0 Anteprima

The Oracle of the Ash## Variation V-08: Greek Tragedy Modern Variation The city of Orestia was not a city of stone, but a city of laws, carved into the side of a mountain that overlooked a sea the color of a bruised plum. In Orestia, the law was absolute, and the law was administered by the High Magistrate, a man named Kaelen. Kaelen was the embodiment of justice—cold, impartial, and blind to the pleas of the...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 4 Views 0 Anteprima

The Numbered ManThe rain in New York didn't wash anything away; it only smeared the grime of the apocalypse into a permanent grey glaze. Leo didn't remember his last name. In the Ark, names were liabilities. He was simply 402. The Ark was a sprawling complex of repurposed subway tunnels and fortified basements, ruled by a man who called himself the Shepherd. The Shepherd spoke of salvation and the "Great...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 6 Views 0 Anteprima
