Guns and DustThe mud in that part of France had a particular smell. Norman Briggs didn't know the chemical composition of it—he couldn't have told you the difference between iron oxide and manganese dirt if his life depended on it, which, in March of 1917, it probably would have. The smell was just mud. Wet, rotting, the kind of mud that got into your boots and stayed there through the winter and seemed to...0 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 1 Views 0 önizlemePlease log in to like, share and comment!

The Instant Between Impact and SilenceThe bridge, the rain, the fog, the green light flaring one final time, the Camaro crossing the edge, Dawn's face in the window, her eyes closed, her lips curved into something that was almost a smile, the pickup skidding to a halt six inches from the guardrail, Ray's hands locked on the steering wheel, his knuckles white, his heart hammering against his ribs, the sound of metal hitting rock...0 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 2 Views 0 önizleme

The_Star_RebellionThe Star RebellionThe crystal fell through the Harlem sky on a July night in 1923, glowing with the light of a thousand fireflies. It landed on the roof of the Apollo Theater and cracked through the shingles, and a voice came out of it that sounded like a cartoon girl speaking in every language at once: The Eaters come. The Eaters come!Captain Jack Morrison was the first man up the fire escape....0 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 1 Views 0 önizleme

Sample V-07: The Weight of the NetI can still smell the salt and the rotting fish whenever I close my eyes. It's been ten years, but the scent of that pier in New Jersey never really leaves you. My brother, Marcus, was the kind of man who made you feel small just by being decent. He was the one who stayed behind to take care of our parents, who spent his weekends fixing their leaking pipes and listening to their endless,...0 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 3 Views 0 önizleme

What the Faulkner Family Bible Did Not RecordThe Faulkner family bible was a book, leather-bound and gilt-edged, that had been printed in London in 1688 and had crossed the Atlantic in the cargo hold of a merchant vessel named the Providence, which had been bound for Charles Town and had arrived, remarkably, with all hands accounted for and the bible undamaged, which was either a miracle or a coincidence, depending on your theology. The...0 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 3 Views 0 önizleme

The Anvil of PiAct One: The Discovery The rain in Derbyshire had a way of getting into your bones that no wool sweater could keep out. Thomas Whitmore knew this better than most. At fifty-two, his joints ached with the damp, and the doctor had suggested London. London, where the fog was so thick you could spread it on bread. But Thomas had refused. There was work to be done here, in the dales, in the old铅...0 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 3 Views 0 önizleme

THE WEIGHT OF NOTHINGI Raymond Kowalski woke at 5:30 every morning. He dressed in the dark—dark trousers, dark shirt, the same jacket he had worn for five years. He ate toast with margarine. He drank coffee that was too weak because he had stretched the grounds with extra hot water. He walked out the front door at 5:45. The factory was two miles away. It took him twenty minutes to walk. He walked at the same pace...0 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 3 Views 0 önizleme

The Consensus (V-04)The sky over the Unified Earth was no longer blue; it was a shimmering, iridescent gold, the result of the Atmos-Shield that protected the planet from the encroaching void. For centuries, humanity had lived in fear of the "Shatterers," a cosmic force that dismantled civilizations by exploiting their internal contradictions. The Shatterers didn't use bombs; they used dissonance. They amplified...0 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 4 Views 0 önizleme

The QuietThe Quiet GameI.The alarm went off at six-thirty and Chris Mercer turned it off without opening his eyes. This was the first decision of the day, and it was already the same decision he had made every day for eleven hundred and forty-seven days. He lay in the narrow bed in the room above the net café, listening to the traffic on Youngstown Avenue and the hum of the server rack in the basement...0 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 4 Views 0 önizleme

THE HOLLOW MERIDIANACT I: THE LOCKED ROOM (20%) The rifle was too heavy for Corinne to lift. It was an old thing—World War I era, maybe older, with a walnut stock worn smooth by a hundred hands and a barrel that had seen more use than any weapon should. It sat on a shelf in the Thorne family library, behind glass, and every person who had entered that room since 1919 had left with the same instruction from...0 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 3 Views 0 önizleme

THE WIDOW OF OAKHAVENOakhaven Plantation, Louisiana, 1954 The house on Cypress Road looked like something that had been left behind by time—a white-columned antebellum mansion half-swallowed by Spanish moss and the kind of Southern humidity that made everything glisten with damp inevitability. The ironwork around the porch had rusted into abstract shapes that resembled vines more than the scrollwork they'd once...0 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 4 Views 0 önizleme

The Last Science Writer## Act I: The Knock The rain in Chicago didn't fall so much as it hovered, a perpetual grey mist that soaked through coats and settled into bones. Jack Morane knew this because he had spent six years in the war learning exactly how cold wet felt, and three years since the war learning how cold lonely felt. His office was on the third floor of a building on South State Street that smelled of...0 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 4 Views 0 önizleme
