The Absurd Transformation## Act I: The Phone Case (20%) Clara's gold phone case fell into the fountain at Times Square at approximately 2:34 PM on a Wednesday that felt like every other Wednesday, which is to say it felt like nothing at all. The fountain was one of those new installations—sleek, minimalist, lit by LED strips that changed colour according to the mood of the algorithm that controlled them. Today's mood...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 23 Vue 0 Aperçu

The Beauregard TransformationACT ONE: THE THEATRE AT THE END OF THE ROAD The Beauregard estate sat at the end of a dirt road that had forgotten how to be a road, its surface cracked and overgrown with weeds that reached for the sky like desperate hands. The house itself was a ruin in the grand Southern tradition, its white columns stained grey by time and rain, its veranda sagging under the weight of a century of humidity...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 15 Vue 0 Aperçu

The Last TransformationI. The fog that November rolled off the Thames like a living thing, thick and yellow with coal smoke, swallowing the gas lamps whole. Arthur Pemberton stood at the window of his museum office on Burlington Street and watched it move, patient and inexorable, the way his own body moved now when he let it. He had not meant to change today. The transformations had been coming more frequently, like...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 7 Vue 0 Aperçu

The TransformationThe manuscript was water-damaged, its Latin text blurred in places by centuries of humidity, but Emma Torres could read it clearly enough. She sat in the basement of NYU's library with a box of uncatalogued materials spread around her like a fan, and she felt the slow, insidious pull of obsession that she had come to recognize as her professional hazard. The text was titled "De...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 1 Vue 0 Aperçu

The Transformation of Eleanor WhitmoreThere is a version of this story in which Eleanor Whitmore does not die. She does not flee across the moors in a storm. She does not climb out of her window at three in the morning. She does none of these things because none of them are possible, and Eleanor has spent her entire life learning that the impossible is not a refuge for women like her. What she does instead is this: she gets...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 5 Vue 0 Aperçu

A Thousand SunsA Thousand Suns The first time Daniel Hale saw another sun being lit, he thought it was a mirror. It was during a research cruise in the Pacific, south of Hawaii, where the water was so deep and so clear that the sky seemed to extend downward infinitely. Daniel was a postdoc in astrophysics—twenty-nine years old, three rejected papers, and a girlfriend named Sarah who loved him the way you love...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 8 Vue 0 Aperçu

Burn The FireBurn the Fire Jack Morane didn't believe in the afterlife until the woman hired him to find a dead man who was still very much alive. She was beautiful in the way that California women are beautiful—carefully constructed, meticulously maintained, and ultimately untouchable. Her name was Diane. She had dark eyes and a voice like cigarette smoke and a checkbook that didn't seem to notice how fast...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 6 Vue 0 Aperçu

Shift WorkShift Work Raymond Cross accepted the job because the money was obscene, not because he believed the job description. "Night illumination specialist," the advertisement read. "One shift per day, four hours. Must be comfortable working alone at night. Prior experience not required. Compensation: $12,000 per month." Fourteen hundred dollars an hour to push a button. Raymond had pushed buttons his...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 10 Vue 0 Aperçu

The Blackwell NightmareThe Blackwell Nightmare The steamship cut through the fog like a blade through old linen. Patrick O'Brien stood at the rail, gripping the cold iron until his knuckles went white. The sea smelled of salt and coal smoke. Behind him, Dublin remembered him. Ahead, Blackwell Island rose from the grey water like a tooth. He was sick. Not from the voyage—though the Irish Sea in December was no place...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 11 Vue 0 Aperçu

The Bottom LineThe Bottom Line Act I: The Offer The job started with a handshake and a envelope. Danny Morales stood in the doorway of the construction site office on East 42nd Street, the envelope warm in his coat pocket, and listened to the jackhammers drill through the morning like gunfire. He had been a sanitation worker in this city for eleven years, and he knew the difference between a real job offer...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 11 Vue 0 Aperçu

The Fire BoyThe Fire Boy Leo was fifteen when he arrived on Block Island, which was approximately the same age he had been every day of his life. His Italian grandmother had said, "Go. Work. Stop asking questions." So he went, and he worked, and he tried not to ask questions about the old Italian man who lived on a rock outside the island and came back from the water at dawn smelling like a volcano....0 Commentaires 0 Parts 2 Vue 0 Aperçu

The Ghost Protocol of Neo-OrleansThe Ghost Protocol of Neo-Orleans Act I: The Third Optimization Evelyn Marsh opened her eyes and the first thing she noticed was the gap. It was small—a sliver of memory where something should have been. She could see the edges of it: a face, dark-haired, smiling, familiar. But the name was gone. The context was gone. She reached for it the way you reach for a word on the tip of your tongue,...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 9 Vue 0 Aperçu

The Girl Who Was Two PeopleThe Girl Who Was Two PeopleDaisy Fletcher stood in the mirror of the small rented room in Sands Point and did not recognize the woman looking back at her.
