The Star-Counter's Paradox(Variant V-06: New York Modernism) The apartment was a white cube in the center of Manhattan, stripped of everything that could be called 'decor'. There were no curtains, no rugs, only a single metal table and a chalkboard that spanned the entire north wall. Dr. Aris Thorne did not believe in the utility of knowledge. He believed in its absurdity. He spent his days teaching a class of three...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 1KB Vue 0 AperçuConnectez-vous pour aimer, partager et commenter!

The Gilded Cage of Silas ThorneSeptember 12th, 1893 I arrived at Silas Thorne's Kensington estate expecting a fortnight's visit and found, within the first hour, that departure was no longer a simple matter. Not because he prevented me — though I suspect he would have tried, gently, persistently, the way a man tries to persuade you to stay for tea when what he really wants is for you to stay forever — but because the house...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 1 Vue 0 Aperçu

The Deep BlackThe Deep BlackThe rain hadn't stopped in three days. It never stopped in Los Angeles anymore—not the real rain, anyway. The kind that came from the sky and washed nothing clean. I was sitting in my office on Sunset, nursing a glass of bourbon that tasted like iodine and regret, when the phone rang.It was a woman's voice. Smooth as silk, sharp as a switchblade. "Mr. Morrison? I need you to find...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 1 Vue 0 Aperçu

The jazz of fading starsThe music was dying, and nobody wanted to admit it. Not in New York, where the music was everything. Not in Chicago, where the music was the only thing. And certainly not in Julian Ashford, who had spent the last five years composing jazz that made people dance because they were afraid of what would happen when the music stopped. It was 1925, and the city was drowning in its own prosperity....0 Commentaires 0 Parts 4 Vue 0 Aperçu

The Golden RoadGrand Central Terminal in 1922 smelled of diesel and ambition. Ellis Hartley stood on the platform with a leather suitcase that contained three changes of clothes, a worn copy of Emerson's essays, and a letter of recommendation from a professor who felt sorry for him. He was twenty-one, from a town in Kansas called Wellington that had a population of 10,837 and a movie theater that showed the...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 6 Vue 0 Aperçu

The Luxury of Ending(V-05: Dirty Realism) The coffee at the diner was burnt, and the vinyl booth had a tear that leaked yellow foam. Ray sat there every morning at 6 AM, watching the rain smear the neon sign of the motel across the street. He worked at the Texaco station three blocks away, a job that consisted of pumping gas for people who didn't look at him and scrubbing oil off the concrete. June sat across from...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 4 Vue 0 Aperçu

The Flourishing DarkThe Flourishing Dark The fire came at 3:00 AM on a night in late October. Lally Beauregard was staying at her great-aunt's house in Oakhaven, twenty miles from Magnolia House—the great crumbling plantation that had been her family's for four generations and was currently worth less than the land it sat on. She woke to an orange glow on the horizon, the sky bruised purple and gold, and the smell...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 7 Vue 0 Aperçu

The_Last_HarvestThe Last HarvestThe crystal appeared over the Thames on a Tuesday in November, 1887. Admiral Charles Harrington of the Royal Navy watched it through the telescope of HMS Victory, floating in the black void above Earth like a splinter of glass dropped into the inkwell of space. The crystal was three meters long, spindle-shaped, and when he reached out his gloved hand toward it, it dissolved into...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 7 Vue 0 Aperçu

The House That WeepsLe Rêve NoirThe room was small — not the kind of small that architecture books describe as "intimate" or "cozy," but the kind of small that makes you feel your own body as an intrusion. Four walls, a window that opened onto a brick wall, a bed that doubled as a desk, a bathroom with a shower curtain that had seen better decades. The apartment was on the third floor of a building on Rue de...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 8 Vue 0 Aperçu

The Sixty-Second PercentFor two years, the number sat in Sarah Miller's mind like a stone in a shoe. Sixty-two percent. It was not a statistic. Statistics were abstractions, and abstractions could be handled, could be filed away in the part of the brain that stored information about things that happened to other people. Sixty-two percent was not an abstraction. It was the conversion rate increase for the target...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 5 Vue 0 Aperçu

The Boardroom of Youth(V-10: New York Urban) The 40th floor of the Goldman-Sachs building had become the new capital of Manhattan. It didn't have a flag; it had a digital ticker tape that scrolled the current value of 'Survival Credits.' I am Sophia, and I am twelve years old. I don't play with dolls; I play with leverage. When the adults vanished, most kids panicked. They looked for their parents or tried to build...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 10 Vue 0 Aperçu

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 Commentaires 0 Parts 20 Vue 0 Aperçu
