Secrets of the Abandoned ManorSecrets of the Abandoned Manor The house smelled like rain and old decisions. Mercy Delacroix stood in the foyer of the Delacroix Manor with a suitcase in one hand and a flashlight in the other, staring up at a staircase that curved like a question mark into the darkness above. Water had found a way in through the roof -- she could see the stain on the plaster ceiling, spreading outward like a...0 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 701 Views 0 önizlemePlease log in to like, share and comment!

The Infinite BoredomThe city of Zenon was a white void of perfect efficiency. There were no roads, only portals. There were no houses, only sleeping pods. And there was no death. The "Chronos-Sync" had solved the problem of aging by looping the human consciousness through a series of optimal emotional states. Everyone was perpetually twenty-five, perpetually happy, and perpetually bored. I have been twenty-five...0 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 2 Views 0 önizleme

Three DepthsThe gas station sat at the intersection of Mahoning Avenue and a road that had once been busy but now saw perhaps forty cars a day, most of them rolling past without stopping. The concrete forecourt was cracked in a pattern that Danny Miller had memorized since childhood — a spiderweb radiating outward from Pump Three, where a buried tank had settled unevenly sometime in the late nineties and...0 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 1 Views 0 önizleme

The Keeper of NotesThe Keeper of Notes The first thing you should know about Thomas Eichenbaum is that he smelled like tobacco and chalk dust. The second thing is that he wore a pipe that he rarely filled, because the habit of holding it was more important than the act of smoking it. The third thing is that he was, by any reasonable metric, one of the most brilliant physicists of his generation, and by...0 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 2 Views 0 önizleme

The Forgotten HeirThe dinner table was long enough to seat twenty, though only seven sat upon it. Thomas Wentworth watched his adoptive father laugh—a deep, rolling sound that seemed to shake the very candelabra—and felt the food in his mouth turn to ash. It was the last time Archibald Wentworth, 7th Duke of Ashworth, would ever laugh with anything resembling joy. Thomas knew this with the certainty of a man who...0 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 1 Views 0 önizleme

The Tuesday ContinuumJulian Voss woke on the floor of his hab-unit and knew, with the particular clarity that comes only after one hundred identical mornings, that the ceiling would display Tuesday, Cycle 1 of Standard Day. It did. The simulated aurora above him hummed softly, shifting from deep blue to a pale, questioning green. It was beautiful. It meant nothing. Julian had learned to appreciate the distinction....0 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 10 Views 0 önizleme

The Nodes Between Whitechapel and the AbyssThe network began with a surgeon's hands. James Holworth, Lord of the Manor of Holworth in the County of Cornwall, Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, Consultant at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, had hands that were famous in London medical circles. They were long and pale and impossibly steady, the hands of a man who could remove a tumor from a brain without disturbing the surrounding...0 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 5 Views 0 önizleme

The wind came down off the moors every morning at four, carrying with it the damp wool smell of sheep and the iron tang of peat smoke. Eleanor Gray felt it through the thin walls of her attic room,...Jasper would have loved the moors. She could imagine him: a great shaggy head thrust through the kitchen window, rain matting the fur between his ears, tongue lolling in that ridiculous, joyous grin of his. He was a Scottish deerhound, or had been bred from one, though no one in the house called him anything so grand. He was a dog. He was hers. She remembered the morning they had found him,...0 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 2 Views 0 önizleme

The Nodes Between Manhattan and NewarkThe Nodes Between Manhattan and Newark The harbor is a network. It has nodes and connections and hubs and edges and it operates according to principles that no single person in the system fully understands. The dock watcher at Pier 42 is a node. The foreman on the loading crew is a node. The captain of the ferry is a node. The supervisor who signs the manifests is a node. The clerk who files...0 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 8 Views 0 önizleme

The quiet rainThe 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...0 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 9 Views 0 önizleme

The Last Bastion(V-10: Tragic Romance) The border town of Oakhaven was a place of grey stone and red blood. It sat on the edge of a collapsing empire, where the law was whatever the local warlord decided it was. Captain Julian had once been a man of the empire, a decorated officer with a chest full of medals. Now, he was a man of the people, a retired soldier who spent his days teaching physics in a damp...0 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 2 Views 0 önizleme

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 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 7 Views 0 önizleme
