Benjamin Franklin the Second was not named after the founding father. His parents, who were nobody in particular and lived in nobody in particular, named him Benjamin because they liked the name and had no idea that anyone would find the irony amusing.By the time Ben was twenty-six, everyone found the irony amusing. He had five million followers across three social media platforms and zero actual expertise. It started when he was twenty-three and unemployed, living in his mother's basement in New Jersey, scrolling through Wikipedia at 3 AM. He read an article about quantum physics, then another about economics, then another about...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 64 Vue 0 Aperçu

Billy Calloway was fourteen years old and he knew two things about his father: first, that his father was a cruel man, and second, that Billy needed his father to stay alive.These two facts lived in Billy's chest like two animals in a cage, snarling at each other, neither one willing to yield. He carried them every day—to the table, to bed, to the edge of the plantation where the woods began and the world ended. Cousin Ez was at the edge of the woods most mornings. He was an old man—thin, gray-haired, with a face that looked like it had been carved from driftwood....0 Commentaires 0 Parts 66 Vue 0 Aperçu

Cyrus was a man of gears and springs, a clockmaker in a London that smelled of coal smoke and ambition. He lived in a world of precision, where every second was a click of a wheel. But Cyrus sought a precision that didn't exist in three dimensions.He built the Chronos-Key, a device of interlocking brass rings that could slip between the folds of reality. When he first entered the Gear-Dimension, he saw a world of raw, unshaped metal and primitive tribes who worshipped the wind. Cyrus didn't see a culture; he saw an inefficiency. He brought the Industrial Revolution to the Gear-Dimension. He built massive steam-hammers to forge the...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 44 Vue 0 Aperçu

Daniel Reeves stood in front of the bathroom mirror in his apartment on West 74th Street and watched himself watch himself, and for a moment—which might have been a second or might have been an hou...He was thirty-two, assistant prosecutor in the Southern District of New York, and he was very good at his job. His colleagues said so. His boss said so. His father, Senator Robert Reeves, said so with that particular combination of pride and expectation that had been the engine of Daniel's life since he was a boy. "You're the best of us," his father would say, clapping him on the shoulder, and...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 50 Vue 0 Aperçu

I have been running the Kingsway Theatre in Brooklyn for eleven years. In eleven years, you learn two things about actors. First, none of them can act. Second, none of them will do anything else.My name is Jack Rourke. I am forty-five. I have a cigarette habit that costs me forty dollars a week and a theatre that costs me twelve hundred. The rent on the building is eighteen hundred. I have been short by six hundred every month for eleven years, and somehow the landlord keeps coming back instead of throwing me out. I think it is because he enjoys watching me squirm. It gives him...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 45 Vue 0 Aperçu

Moana's Second SkinMoana's Second Skin Moana's Second Skin The ocean did not give up its dead. Moana had learned this the first time she dove past the reef line, past the drop-off where the water turned from turquoise to the deep indigo of old bruises, and saw the skeleton of the great canoe resting on the sand, its bones picked clean by currents that had forgotten mercy. She was twelve then. She was thirty now,...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 43 Vue 0 Aperçu

One Second of GraceThe apartment was a white box in a gray city. Elias lived in the silence of the 42nd floor, where the only sound was the hum of the air purifier and the occasional drip of a leaky faucet. He was a man of habits: coffee at 6 AM, a ten-minute stare at the smog-choked horizon, and eight hours of data-entry for a company that didn't know his name. He didn't have friends, only acquaintances who...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 57 Vue 0 Aperçu
