The Things That Remember What People ForgetI am a pocket watch, and I have been carried in the pocket of three different people in my twenty-seven years, and I have felt the pulse of each of them, and I have measured not the time they lived but the speed at which their hearts beat when they were afraid, and the girl who carried me for the last three days had a heart that beat at the same speed as a hummingbird, which is to say that it...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 0 Views 0 AnteprimaEffettua l'accesso per mettere mi piace, condividere e commentare!

The Black MeridianAct I The desert below Las Vegas had a colour that Jack Mercer had never seen in nature, not really. It was the colour of dried blood and ground copper, a rusty orange that the sun bleached to white during the day and turned to black at night. Beneath that colour, at a depth of twelve hundred feet, was something the government called the Meridian Complex and Jack called a tomb. He had known it...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 1 Views 0 Anteprima

The Patient from BelowPart I: The Lock Henri Leclerc was thirty-three years old, the youngest mathematics professor at the Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris, and in the spring of 1893 he was on the verge of a discovery that would have changed the course of mathematics. He had been working on hypergeometric functions—specifically, on a class of functions that extended the concept of infinity to higher dimensions. In...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 4 Views 0 Anteprima

The coffee sat on the corner of Fulton and Warren like an offering at some forgotten altar.Maria didn't believe in guardians. She believed in rent due on the first, in overtime at the restaurant, in the way her knuckles ached from scrubbing other people's dishes. She believed in the thing that had taken her husband's job and left her with nothing but a shift that ran from six to midnight and an eight-year-old boy who asked too many questions about why they couldn't afford the things...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 4 Views 0 Anteprima

The Full Moon ExchangeFrank McCullough made tofu because it was all he knew how to do. At forty-two, he had tried other things—working the line at the factory before it closed, driving a truck before his back gave out, selling insurance for six months before he realized he hated lying to people—and tofu was what remained. It was simple. You soaked the beans. You ground them. You strained the milk. You added the...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 0 Views 0 Anteprima

Through Rosa's EyesThe clinic opened at eight and closed at six, and for eight years Rosa Delgado had been there at seven fifty-five, unlocking the door, turning on the fluorescent light in the hallway that always took three clicks to activate, and making coffee in the little electric kettle that lived in the breakroom next to the refrigerator that smelled faintly of something biological. People assumed she was...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 7 Views 0 Anteprima

The Digital ExodusCommander Elias stood on the bridge of the *S.S. Axiom*, looking out at the shimmering expanse of the Great Archive. In the year 3042, humanity no longer lived in flesh. They were a civilization of light and data, drifting through a simulated paradise that had long since forgotten the smell of rain or the weight of a stone. But the paradise was rotting. A phenomenon known as "The Bit-Rot" was...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 3 Views 0 Anteprima

The Librarian of the Folded SkyThe station was called The Ossuary, though it looked more like a cluster of rotting coral floating in a sea of violet gas. Everything here was curved, leaning, and covered in a fine layer of iridescent dust. Time didn't flow in The Ossuary; it pooled in stagnant eddies, making a minute feel like a century and a decade feel like a heartbeat. Silas was the Librarian. He didn't manage books, but...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 5 Views 0 Anteprima

Title: The Echoes of The Last One - Modernist-Stream VersionThis is a simulated Modernist-Stream literary adaptation of 'The Last One'. It explores the themes of isolation and connection through the lens of Modernist-Stream. The wind howled through the concrete corridors, carrying the scent of rust and old secrets.

Mike O'Brien had been a boxer once. Not a good one. Not even a decent one. But he had been a boxer,Mike O'Brien had been a boxer once. Not a good one. Not even a decent one. But he had been a boxer, and the ring was the only place in the world where he had ever felt like he knew what was going to happen next. Now at fifty-five, he ran a gym in the Bronx that smelled of sweat and liniment and regret. The equipment was old—bags with holes in them, a speed rope held together with tape, a ring...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 5 Views 0 Anteprima

THE DARK CIRCUITThe radio in the break room had been broken for three weeks and Jack Murdock kept meaning to fix it and kept not meaning to fix it, which was typical of Jack Murdock—he kept meaning to do things and kept not doing them, which was how you ended up thirty-four years old, drafted into a war you didn't understand, fixing electrical equipment in a hole beneath the earth. "Come on, you old bitch," he...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 7 Views 0 Anteprima

The Malloy ProtocolI. The rain in Chicago doesn't wash anything clean. It just makes the grime wetter. I sat in my office above a closed-down butcher shop on South Halsted Street, watching the water run down the windowpane and trying to figure out how to save a city that didn't want to be saved. The Client had come to me three weeks earlier. Tall man, fedora pulled low, voice like gravel. He'd found me in a bar...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 7 Views 0 Anteprima
