Lena watched Jupiter's moon Europa flatten. It did not explode. It did not crumble. It simply became two-dimensional, like a photograph being pressed flat against a table.She was at the Deep Space Observatory, sitting at her desk, looking through the telescope, when it happened. Europa, a world of ice and ocean and the faint hope of life, was being compressed into a plane. Craters became patterns. Mountains became lines. The ice became texture. The ocean became colour. And in the end, where a world had once existed, there was a painting. A perfect, infinitely...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 3 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

She had never been to Venice. She had never even seen a photograph of that particular bridge.The dreams began in October, which was the kind of detail that should have meant something but did not, because Bella Wentworth had been having dreams for as long as she could remember and they had never meant anything that could not be explained away as nerves or melancholy or the particular brand of spiritual malady that afflicted women of her class and constitution. But these dreams were...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 3 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Burned Photograph## IThe rain had not ceased for three days when Miss Martha Windsor arrived at Professor Arthur Pendleton's door in Edinburgh. She carried a brown leather valise, waterlogged at the corners, and she spoke with a voice that had been trained to remain steady."Uncle Edgar died in a fire," she said. "Or rather, he died in the sky. And this is everything that remained of him."Professor Pendleton,...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 46 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Cotton Mill PhotographThe heat in Jackson, Mississippi does not arrive like weather. It arrives like an occupation. It moves in without knocking, sets up camp in your lungs, and makes itself comfortable in every room you enter. Edward Foster felt it the moment his car crossed the county line, a physical weight that pressed against the windshield like a palm. He was thirty-one, a federal investigator from Boston, and...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 18 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Faded PhotographThe Faded Photograph By Julian Ashworth The envelope arrived on a Tuesday, which was the first thing Eleanor noticed — that it came on a Tuesday, of all mundane days, when the rain had been falling since dawn and the kitchen window fogged at the edges like a photograph left too long in the sun. She was sixty-two years old, and she had spent forty-three of them believing that usefulness was...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 34 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The first photograph I ever took of Elias was of his hands.He was sitting at the kitchen table in the apartment we shared in East Village, his hands wrapped around a mug of coffee that had gone cold twenty minutes ago. The hands were forty-year-old hands—veined, with knuckles that had been broken once (a baseball accident when he was twelve, he told me, though I suspected he was lying about the accident part) and a scar on the left thumb from a kitchen...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 11 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Half-Burned PhotographThe photo came in a tin can, wrapped around a length of rebar, inside a steel pipe that Ray Kowalski found when he was taking apart the wall of a abandoned chemical plant on the outskirts of Flint. The place had been owned by a company that went bankrupt in the nineties, and Ray's job was to strip the copper and sell it to scrap dealers who paid by the pound and did not ask questions. He was...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 17 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Harrington PhotographThe volcanic rock on Iwa-dake Island tasted like salt and gunpowder, which was not a flavor that Thomas Harrington had ever associated with beauty until the morning of October 14, 1944, when he crouched behind a formation of black basalt and watched the sunlight strike the crater rim at an angle that turned the entire landscape into a photograph he would spend the rest of his life trying to...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 8 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen
