The jazz of fading stars
The music was dying, and nobody wanted to admit it. Not in New York, where the music was everything. Not in Chicago, where the music was the only thing. And certainly not in Julian Ashford, who had spent the last five years composing jazz that made people dance because they were afraid of what would happen when the music stopped. It was 1925, and the city was drowning in its own prosperity....

From the window of DeLuca's Corner Store, you can see everything.
That's not a boast. It's a fact of geometry. The store sits on the corner of 86th Street and 5th Avenue in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, and the window faces east toward the street and south toward the row of brownstones that form the backdrop of my life for the last thirty years. I've watched children grow up and leave and come back with their own children. I've watched couples move in holding hands...

The Last Dance at Charing Cross
The Plaza elevator in 1923 was a thing of beauty—brass rails, mirrored walls, a leather-upholstered floor that smelled faintly of lavender and expensive perfume. Margaret Fitzgerald called it "the belly of the beast," because to her, every luxury in New York felt like something stolen from someone who couldn't afford to lose it. But on this particular afternoon in November, Margaret was too...

The Gilded Wind
I The flute Thomas Blackwell found in the mud of the Mississippi River was not a flute at all, not in any sense he could have explained to a rational man. It was a long silver tube, engraved with patterns that looked like water but might have been music, and when he held it to his lips and blew, what came out was not sound but something that sounded like sound—the voice of a dead man, speaking...

The Frequency of Two Novembers
**November 1925 — Evelyn** Evelyn Marsh was twenty-three years old, and she had never left London. The city was her geography and her prison, the streets of Whitechapel her curriculum and her cage. She worked at a textile factory on Commercial Street, twelve-hour shifts, six days a week, threading bobbins on machines that had been built before she was born. The work was loud and repetitive and...

The fight ended exactly like the last one. That was the first thing I noticed.
My opponent—he was a mountain of a man with a beard like a bramble patch and a sword that weighed more than I did—went down with a crack that I'd come to recognize. Not a fresh crack. A familiar one. The same crack. The same angle of fall. The same spray of dirt that landed on my boots in an identical pattern. I stood over him, breathing hard, my cheap wooden practice sword still raised. Around...

In the Hand She Had Not Yet Become
The room on 113th Street was small and smelled of other people's cooking. Rose O'Connor had been in New York for three months and had not yet learned to call it home. Home was a word she had used about places she was leaving—Brooklyn at eight, Geneva at twenty-two, Algiers at twenty-seven, Saigon at thirty-four. Home was always somewhere behind her, and now, at forty, she was tired of looking...

The Last Sowing
The vault smelled of old metal and older secrets. Cass Okafor stood at the entrance—the word entrance was generous; it was a hole she had cut through three meters of reinforced concrete with a torch that had worked until yesterday and might not work today—and let the smell wash over her like a memory she had not asked for.Four of them had entered the Whitmore Vault four months ago. Captain...

The Patient from Below
Chapter I: The Braking The letter arrived on a Friday, which in Vienna is the day when everyone pretends the weekend is going to save them from things they should have dealt with on Monday. It was typed on government stationery, in a font that was designed to look friendly but achieved only the effect of a smile that does not reach the eyes. The letter informed me that the Weiss Institute for...

The Patient from Below
ACT I: THE LISTENING The sanatorium sat on the edge of Whitechapel, where the fog never fully lifted and the gas lamps cast yellow circles on cobblestones that were perpetually damp. Julian Ashworth had been sent here by his physician after his "episode" at twenty-five—a nervous breakdown, the doctor called it, though Julian suspected the word "nervous" was a euphemism for something the doctor...

The Human Node
The tower was a needle of obsidian and glass, piercing the smog of New York like a frozen scream. Inside, the air was filtered, the lighting was a constant, sterile white, and the silence was absolute. I was a Senior Analyst at NexaCorp, but in the eyes of the company, I was simply Node 742. Three years ago, NexaCorp had implemented "The Sync." It was a neural interface that integrated every...

The Receipt: A Story of Cold Storage and Ice
The receipt was the size of a credit card, printed on thermal paper that had already begun to darken at the edges. It was tucked inside the third volume of the 1997 Kennebunkport Cold Storage Operations Manual, between pages 147 and 148—which, if you know anything about cold storage operations, tells you exactly which section deals with emergency pressure release protocols. Eileen Mercer found...
