The Class BreakerMary Sullivan scrubbed the Ashworth Hall kitchen floors at five in the morning, before the fires were lit, when the stone was cold enough to wake you up and the only sound was the drip of the tap and the occasional squeak of the cat in the pantry. She scrubbed with her knuckles, the way she had been taught by the previous scullery maid, a woman named Grace who had been fired for stealing sugar...0 Comments 0 Shares 100 Views 0 Reviews

The Last Class at Miller's RunDale Mercer counted the coins in the desk drawer. Forty-seven dollars and thirty-two cents. That was the school's entire budget for the rest of the month. No heat. No electricity after noon. Nine students and one teacher and a heater that hadn't worked since October. He looked at the kids. Nine teenagers, most of them scrolling on phones with cracked screens, most of them planning to drop out...0 Comments 0 Shares 61 Views 0 Reviews

The Requiem of a ClassThe twilight of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1890 was not a sudden fall, but a slow, gilded decay. Vienna was a city of masks, where the waltzes of the ballroom drowned out the screams of the slums, and where the nobility clung to their titles like drowning men to pieces of driftwood. For Julian, the last scion of a house that had served the Habsburgs for three centuries, the empire was not a...0 Comments 0 Shares 68 Views 0 Reviews
