  • The Name in the Corner
    Marcus Sullivan first learned the value of a name on a Tuesday night in November 1974. He was twenty-eight years old, working the register at a bodega in Brooklyn Heights, and a man named Vincent Rossi came in to buy a pack of cigarettes. "Keep my usual on ice," Vincent said, sliding a five-dollar bill across the counter. "For when I come back." "I don't keep accounts," Marcus said...

  • ACT I
    The Beauregard plantation looked like a dying animal: magnificent once, now skeletal, its ribs of white columns protruding through peeling paint like bone through rotting flesh. Elias Thorne stood at the gate and felt something he hadn't felt since Boston, something that was almost sympathy. He had come south as a Union intelligence officer, armed with maps and coded messages and a conviction...

  • The Rain of Neon-Sorrow
    In Neon-Sorrow, the rain never stopped. It was a chemical drizzle that tasted of copper and ozone, washing the grime of a billion souls into the gutters of a city that had forgotten the sun. Here, the only currency was information, and the only law was the Hunt. Jax was a cleaner. He didn't clean floors; he cleaned civilizations. As a high-ranking operative of the Hunter’s Guild, his job was...

  • What the Void Remembers
    I.The factory smelled the same as it always did: oil, metal, and something that might have been sweat or might have been the river.Artie Kowalski stood at his station on the assembly line, his hands covered in grease, his back aching in the same place it had been aching for twenty years. The parts came down the belt, he tightened the bolts, they moved on. This was his life. This had been his...

  • The Weight of a Grain of Sand
    Elena sat in the cafeteria of the UN building in Geneva, staring at a single grain of salt on the plastic table. Around her, the air was thick with the sound of a dozen languages, all of them speaking the language of "urgent" crises and "critical" deadlines. She was a Senior Mediator. For twenty years, she had been the one to sit in the windowless rooms, the one to find the exact word that...

  • What She Carried Home
    What She Carried Home The water in the canal behind the Palais de Tokyo smelled like roses and gasoline, the way Paris smelled in the spring of 1925. Lily Wang stood on the bridge and watched a woman in a cloche hat drop a glove into the water and not bother to retrieve it. Lily understood the gesture entirely. Some things were meant to be lost. She had been in Paris for eleven months when the...

  • The Edge of Knowing
    I. I woke in darkness. The water was at my waist and the walls were concrete and I did not know where I was. My name—no. I do not know my name. I know I am a doctor. A psychologist. I treat trauma. Post-traumatic stress. I sit in a chair and listen to people tell me about the things that broke them and then I try to put them back together. The water was cold. It moved slowly, like something...

  • The Gilded Trust
    New York, 1924. The city was a fever dream of gold and jazz, a place where the skyscrapers reached for a heaven that the people had long since forgotten. Samuel Vanderbilt sat at the apex of this dream, the master of the city's infrastructure, a man who owned the very veins through which the city's lifeblood flowed. But Samuel was a man of shadows. He lived in a penthouse of marble and glass,...

  • The Quietest Hour
    The winter of 1924 in the highlands of Scotland was a season of iron and ice. The wind howled across the moors like a wounded beast, and the frost bit deep into the stone of the old crofts. Julian lived in a small, drafty cottage at the edge of the world, a man of few words and a singular, quiet devotion to the land. He was a shepherd, but in the eyes of the village, he was a hermit. He had...

  • The Signal Operator
    **Queens, New York** The coffee machine in the break room was broken again. I kicked it once—hard, but not hard enough to damage it, just hard enough to express my opinion—and it worked for maybe ten more minutes before giving up entirely. That was fine. I didn't really want coffee. I wanted to go home and sleep for a week. It was 6:47 AM on a Tuesday in March 2015. I was working the night...

  • The Rust Belt
    The factory closed on a Thursday. I know because Thursday was the only day the coffee in the breakroom was decent—Maura always brought extra cookies on Thursdays, and the machine didn't jam as often. By Friday, the fences were up. Chain link and razor wire, erected by men in hard hats who didn't look at us when they passed. By Saturday, the sign was taken down. Not the whole sign—just the part...
