The Iron Lung of Blackwood HallThe Iron Lung of Blackwood Hall ACT I: THE BREACH The letter arrived on a Tuesday, wrapped in brown paper and smelling of coal smoke and damp wool. Eleanor read it by the light of a tallow candle that sputtered and leaked wax onto the kitchen table. "Your aunt requires your presence," it read, in handwriting that was elegant and imperious in equal measure. "Blackwood Hall, Kensington. Come with...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 ReviewsPlease log in to like, share and comment!

The Anatomy of a BugSubject: Civilization-4412 (Local Name: "Humanity"). Observation Log: Exterminator Unit 734. The target species is fascinatingly inefficient. They possess a biological drive for "hope" that overrides all logical survival instincts. It is a glitch in their neural architecture, a persistent error that makes them believe they can negotiate with the inevitable. My task was simple: clear the sector...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Wasteland PaletteAct I The wall was twelve metres high and thirty across, a slab of reinforced concrete from the old highway system, tilted at an angle that made painting it require either scaffolding or stupidity. Dan chose stupidity. It was cheaper. He stood on a rusted rebar protruding from the concrete's surface, one boot locked between two crossing bars, his body angled outward like a figure in a desperate...0 Comments 0 Shares 3 Views 0 Reviews

THE LAST WALLThe 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...0 Comments 0 Shares 3 Views 0 Reviews

The Patient from BelowChapter 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...0 Comments 0 Shares 3 Views 0 Reviews

The champagne was cold, the saxophone was loud, and nobody in that room on Fifth Avenue cared about anything real. I knew this because I had lived this life before, and I remembered exactly how it ended.My name is Julian Ashworth, and three months ago I was hit by a taxi on Broadway. I lay in the street for twelve hours, bleeding onto the sidewalk, watching the neon signs of Times Square flicker above me like the stars in some cruel and indifferent sky. When I woke up in the hospital, I remembered everything. Not a past life. Not a previous incarnation. A different life—one that had happened...0 Comments 0 Shares 3 Views 0 Reviews

The Record of the VoidThe job was simple: assess, classify, erase. That was the protocol for isolation belt construction, and Zela-7 had carried it out across twelve thousand star systems without blinking. Her intelligence field maintained a steady grey—the colour of professional detachment. This system would be no different. The star was unremarkable: absolute visual magnitude 4.71, main sequence, nine planets. The...0 Comments 0 Shares 5 Views 0 Reviews

Sample V-08: The Bloodline Curse(A Southern Gothic) The Blackwood Estate sat like a rotting tooth in the middle of the Mississippi delta, draped in Spanish moss that looked like funeral veils clinging to the skeletal arms of ancient oaks. The house was a monument to a forgotten grandeur, its white paint peeling in long, sickly strips, its windows like blind eyes staring out over the stagnant swamps. Silas had been kept in the...0 Comments 0 Shares 5 Views 0 Reviews

The Surrealist ClinicIn a corner of New York where the gravity occasionally took a holiday and the clouds were made of cotton candy and static, Dr. Leo Vane ran the most successful clinic in the city. He didn't treat flu or fractures; he treated "Logical Glitches." His patients were people who had accidentally stepped out of the narrative. There was the woman who spoke only in palindromes, the man whose shadow had...0 Comments 0 Shares 6 Views 0 Reviews

The Algorithm of Breath**Act I: The Spark** Leo lived in a world of white noise and glass. In the Neo-Manhattan of 2099, existence was a series of optimized data points. Breath was regulated, sleep was scheduled, and emotion was a legacy feature. Leo was a "Quant," a man who saw the world as a series of oscillating waves. He didn't care for people, but he was obsessed with the "Biological Variance"—the unpredictable...0 Comments 0 Shares 7 Views 0 Reviews

The bone lay on the silver platter like a secret someone had decided to stop keeping.The bone lay on the silver platter like a secret someone had decided to stop keeping.Eleanor Graves stood over it in the lamplight of her private laboratory, the candle placed three feet away to avoid contaminating the evidence. She was twenty-eight, widowed at twenty-three, and had spent the last five years learning the language of dead things. Bones spoke. Teeth testified. Hair carried the...0 Comments 0 Shares 6 Views 0 Reviews
