The Well at the End of the Road
The last drop came out with a sound like a sigh. Luke Harris held the plastic bucket upside down and watched the thin streak run down the inside wall. He tipped it. He scraped it with his finger. He brought the finger to his mouth. It tasted like dirt. Noa was sitting on the edge of the well, drawing with chalk. She had drawn a circle on the stone. It was round. Luke decided it was the best...

Sample 04: The Waltz of the Dying Empire
(Story content based on Austro-Hungarian Empire Variation - decline in late 19th century Vienna) Vienna in 1890 was a city of ghosts dressed in silk. The Austro-Hungarian Empire was a magnificent, crumbling facade, a collection of disparate nations held together by the sheer force of habit and the rhythmic beat of the waltz. Viktor was a minor clerk in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a man...

The Temperature of a Room Measured One Degree at a Time
On the first Tuesday of September 2005, Samir Hassan walked into the faculty lounge and found that someone had taken his mug. It was a plain white mug with the university crest, indistinguishable from thirty others in the cabinet above the coffee machine, and he assumed it was an accident. He selected another mug, poured the Colombian roast that the department secretary brewed every morning at...

The Keeper of the Ridge
I. Joe Kowalski found the boy on a Tuesday in November. He was walking home from the mine—the same walk he had made every day for eighteen years—and he saw something moving near the river. At first he thought it was a raccoon. Then he heard a sound that was not an animal sound. It was a cry. Small and thin and desperate. Joe stopped. He looked around. The river was high from the autumn rains,...

Title: The Soul in the Machine
Julian was a man of the fin de siècle, a scholar who believed that the coming century would be defined by the marriage of spirit and steel. In his laboratory in Prague, he sought the 'Ghost in the Machine', the precise point where mathematics became consciousness. He spent his nights reading forbidden texts and his days building intricate devices that attempted to capture the essence of a...

The Crimson Nocturne
The Carpathian Mountains are a place where the wind sounds like a funeral dirge and the forests are thick with things that avoid the sun. In a castle that clung to the cliffs like a dying parasite lived Isolde. She was a creature of breathtaking, predatory beauty—a "Blood-Siren" whose song could lull a man into a state of absolute ecstasy and absolute submission. Isolde didn't hunt for...

The Living Corpse's Dividend
The apartment in Gary, Indiana, was a grey box in a grey city. It smelled of stale cigarettes and the metallic tang of the nearby steel mills. The wallpaper was peeling in long, jaundiced strips, and the only light came from a single, flickering bulb in the kitchen. Arthur sat in a stained recliner, his body a collapsed accordion of flesh and bone. He was a former foreman, a man who had spent...

The Parasite of Reason
In the damp, emerald hills of 19th-century Scotland, Julian lived in a manor that smelled of old leather and formaldehyde. He was a man of the Enlightenment, a biologist obsessed with the boundary between instinct and intellect. His life's work was centered on a single subject: an ancient, silver-backed gorilla named Caesar. Julian didn't want to just study Caesar; he wanted to elevate him. He...

The Shadow of the Black Ledger
Rain in New York did not wash things clean. It made everything worse. It turned the soot on the buildings to a thick, gray paste that dripped from every cornice like the city was sweating something foul. Jack Morretti watched it from his third-floor window, the collar of his coat turned up against the draft that sneaked through the window frame no matter how many times he caulked it. The ledger...

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 LAST WALL
The stone was cold beneath Edward's gloved hands. He ran his palm along the face of it, feeling for the cracks his predecessors had spent a thousand years cataloguing. There were none today. The wall held. It always held. Edward Blackthorne, seventieth Lord Keeper of the Morvayne Ramparts, walked the parapet at midnight, as he had every night for twelve years. The moon was a sliver of bone in a...
