THE QUIET ENDFrank O'Malley woke at six in the morning. It was not an alarm clock that woke him. It was the habit of waking at six, established twelve years ago in a base camp in the Ho Chi Minh Trail and never broken, even after he broke everything else. He lay in the dark. The apartment was small—one bedroom, one bathroom, a kitchen that was really just a corner with a stove and a refrigerator the size of...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 1 Ansichten 0 BewertungenBitte loggen Sie sich ein, um liken, teilen und zu kommentieren!

The Dust Beneath the MagnoliaThe heat in Mississippi does not announce itself. It does not knock on your door or send you a telegram telling you that it has arrived. It simply appears, the way darkness appears when you close your eyes — all at once, completely, and with no warning at all. By mid-June, the Beauregard plantation was already baking, the red clay cracking in places where the rain hadn't fallen for three weeks,...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 0 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Patient from BelowThe asylum had been closed for twenty years before the Sleep came, but the children of Boston knew it by reputation the way children know about forbidden places: through whispers and warnings and the peculiar silence that falls over a room when someone mentions the Holloway Asylum in a voice that suggests they have been told not to speak of it at all. Theo Ashworth had never been inside. He was...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 0 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Innocent SubstituteThe gates of Helios Penitentiary Block 7 closed behind me with a sound like a vault sealing. Seven years. I had been here for seven years. Every morning at 0500, a synthetic voice announced the date in a flat, emotionless tone that never changed: "Day 2,556. Date: 14 March, 2080. Temperature: 22 degrees Celsius. Weather: controlled." The weather was always controlled. The temperature was always...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 3 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Mirror at BlackthorneThe rain in London does not fall so much as it accumulates, layer by attenuated layer, until the city is nothing more than a watercolor painting left out in a storm. Reginald Ashworth had lived through eleven London rains by November 1891, but this one was different—not in its intensity or its duration, but in the particular way it blurred the boundaries between the east and the west, making...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 3 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

THE SILENT OBSERVERA Collection of Nine Stories I. THE MAN WHO WATCHED THE SKY Dr. Vladimir Petrov watched the sky every night from the roof of the observatory in a small town outside Moscow. He had been watching it for twenty-seven years. He was sixty-two years old, he had a wife who did not understand him, a daughter who barely spoke to him, and a job that consisted almost entirely of looking at a computer...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 1 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Shadow of JusticeThe air in Washington D.C. in 1953 was thick with a different kind of smog—a haze of suspicion and whispered accusations. James lived in a world of gray suits and locked filing cabinets, a junior analyst for the State Department who believed that the truth was the only currency that mattered. He was a man of rigid morals and an unwavering belief in the American experiment. James had spent two...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 3 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Reflection EngineThe Reflection Engine ACT I Inspector Arthur Whitmore did not believe in ghosts, but the man on the other end of the line knew things no living man could know. "Your lighter is in your briefcase," the voice said, weary and young and impossibly certain. "Borovets Paris, platinum case. Two pavé settings, thirty diamonds each. I believe the valuation is thirty-nine thousand, nine hundred and sixty...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 6 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Engine of Mankind1893 The astronomers at Greenwich Observatory presented their findings on a cold November morning in 1893, and the silence in the room was so complete that the ticking of the grandfather clock in the corner sounded like a hammer striking an anvil. The data was conclusive. The Sun was dimming—a steady, measurable, irreversible decline in luminosity that, over the next hundred years, would reduce...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 6 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Architect of GraceIn the glass canyons of Wall Street, power is not measured in gold, but in information and the coldness of one's heart. Elias was a ghost in the machine, an adopted son of the Sterling dynasty who had learned early on that in the world of high finance, love was a liability and kindness was a target. The Sterlings had viewed Elias as a social experiment—a way to project a philanthropic image...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 3 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

THE LAST LIGHT OF NEW CARTHAGEI found Grandfather's diary in the cellar on a Tuesday in October, 1872. The house was cold—the coal fire had been banked too early, as it always is when one lives alone—and the smell of damp stone and forgotten things rose to meet me as I descended the narrow stairs with a candle in my hand. There, behind a stack of water-stained furniture covers, in a tin box whose lock had rusted solid, was...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 3 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Iron Frequency(Hard-boiled Survival Style) The city was a concrete carcass, stripped of its skin and left to rot under a sky the color of a bruised plum. Max lived in the vents of Sector 4, a place where the air tasted of ozone and desperation. He didn't believe in gods, and he certainly didn't believe in the 'Celestial Greeting' the government had been peddling for a decade. To Max, the signal from the void...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 6 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen
