The Gilded Forward
Julian Ashworth died at seventy-eight and woke at twenty-nine. The transition was not dramatic. There was no tunnel of light, no chorus of voices, no lifetime flashing before his eyes. There was only the sensation of falling— slow, inevitable, like a stone sinking through still water— and then the hard, bright surface of October 1927 breaking against his face. He was at his desk on Wall...

Between the Mirror and the Memory
There is a space that exists between the reflection and the reflected, between the memory and the remembered, between the crime and the confession. It is not a physical space—you will not find it on any map of Boston, between any two streets, beneath any particular roof. It is a space of consciousness, of the interstitial realm where identities blur and selves overlap and the boundaries that...

# The House of Blackwater
## Act I: The Inheritance (20%)The letter came on a Tuesday in October, carried by a postman who looked at Caleb Beauchamp as though he were something the Mississippi had washed ashore and forgotten to digest.*Mr. Beauchamp,* it read, in a hand that had once been elegant and was now the shaky script of a dying man, *I am dead. The house is dying too. You should come see it before it is too late...

The glass罩 was not a shelter. It was a cage.
I first saw it from the air—a perfect sphere of transparent material, no larger than a dinner plate, resting in the blackened rock of a dead world. The hydrogen balloon had carried me farther than any Englishwoman should have gone. Three months of storm and silence, and then this: a planet of ice and obsidian, a sky the color of a bruise, and the glass sphere glowing faintly, as if something...

The Revivalist
The train from Hoboken arrived at six in the morning, and Nikolai Vostokov stepped onto the platform with a leather satchel that contained three things: a fragmentary manuscript bound in cracked calfskin, a letter of introduction signed by a professor who had died two years earlier, and a photograph of a woman whose face was blurred by years of being carried in a pocket. He was thirty-four...

THE PARANOIA ENGINE
Dr. Henry Webb was giving a lecture on cognitive asymmetry at the University of Chicago when a woman in a dark suit handed him an envelope during the question-and-answer period. The lecture hall was mostly empty — it was a Thursday afternoon in April, and most of his students had better things to do. The envelope was plain white, unsealed, and contained a single sheet of paper. The paper held a...

The Heretic's Light
(V-06: Gothic / Medieval) The dungeon was a throat of stone, swallowing the light and breathing the scent of mildew and old fear. Brother Thomas lay on a bed of rotting straw, his body a map of bruises and broken ribs. The Inquisition had been thorough. They had broken his fingers, but they had not been able to break his mind. Outside the heavy iron door, the village of Oakhaven was preparing...

The quiet rain
The rain was falling on the hardware store the way rain falls on hardware stores all over the Midwest—not dramatically, not with the kind of intensity that makes you run for cover, but steadily, persistently, the kind of rain that soaks through your coat without you noticing until you are already wet. James Kellerman was behind the counter, counting inventory. Nails. Screws. Washers. The kind...

Rust Belt Moon
PART I: THE JOB The steel mill closed on a Tuesday in 2014. I wasn't surprised. I'd known it was coming for years—I could feel it in the way the foreman stopped making eye contact, in the way the orders got thinner and thinner until there wasn't enough work to go around, and then there wasn't work at all. They gave us a severance package. Three months' pay, a coupon book for the local grocery...

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....

The woman who walked into my office at 3:47 on a Wednesday morning looked like she had been born in the wrong century. White lab coat, hair pulled back in a severe knot, eyes the colour of a parking l
I had been sitting in my chair with my feet on the desk and a glass of something amber in my hand, which is the position I have occupied for approximately six years, ever since I came back from the desert and decided that finding out what happened to people was still a thing I could do, even if it was now a thing that involved missing wives and insurance claims rather than what it used to...

THE LAST LIGHT OF NEW CARTHAGE
I 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...
