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 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 0 Views 0 önizlemePlease log in to like, share and comment!

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 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 0 Views 0 önizleme

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 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 0 Views 0 önizleme

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 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 3 Views 0 önizleme

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 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 14 Views 0 önizleme

The Patient from BelowACT I: THE LISTENING The sanatorium sat on the edge of Whitechapel, where the fog never fully lifted and the gas lamps cast yellow circles on cobblestones that were perpetually damp. Julian Ashworth had been sent here by his physician after his "episode" at twenty-five—a nervous breakdown, the doctor called it, though Julian suspected the word "nervous" was a euphemism for something the doctor...0 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 4 Views 0 önizleme

The Patient from BelowDr. Evelyn Blackwood had been treating soldiers for fourteen months when she began to suspect that the war was happening inside their heads. The facility was a converted country estate outside New Carthage, all white corridors and padded rooms and the faint smell of carbolic and iodine. It housed the military's most difficult cases: men and women who had been brought back from the front lines...0 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 12 Views 0 önizleme

THE PARANOIA ENGINEDr. Henry Webb was giving a lecture on cognitive asymmetry at the University of Chicago when a woman in a dark suit handed him an envelope during the question-and-answer period. The lecture hall was mostly empty — it was a Thursday afternoon in April, and most of his students had better things to do. The envelope was plain white, unsealed, and contained a single sheet of paper. The paper held a...0 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 13 Views 0 önizleme

The Double Helix SignalIsabella Windsor first heard the signal when she was seventeen, in the library of her family's townhouse on Belgrave Square. She was reading by candlelight—a habit she had acquired during the long London nights of the Blitz, though this was 1893 and the war was long over—and the signal came through the walls, through the floor, through the very air she breathed, as though the house itself had...0 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 13 Views 0 önizleme

The Subscription to Silence(Style: New York Modernism) In the New Manhattan, existence was a tiered service. If you could afford the 'Platinum Tier', you lived in a world of perpetual spring, with a customized consciousness that filtered out all pain and boredom. If you were 'Bronze', you lived in the grey zones, feeling every ache of the city's concrete heart. I was a 'Temporary'. A glitch in the system that allowed me...0 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 12 Views 0 önizleme

The Velvet GameThe city of New York had become a series of walled gardens, each managed by a "Prince" of the New Era. The gardens were lush, the clothes were silk, and the conversation was a razor-sharp dance of subtext and betrayal. Julian was the Prince of the Upper East Side. He was twelve, but he wore tailored suits and spoke in the clipped, cold tones of a corporate raider. His world was not one of...0 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 10 Views 0 önizleme

THE WEIGHT OF NOTHING### Act I: The Spark Ethan Cross stood in the supermarket aisle for twelve minutes before making a decision. The decision was about cereal. There were fourteen brands on the shelf, from store-brand corn flakes at three dollars a box to artisanal granola at nine dollars, and Ethan was trying to choose one. Not because he was hungry—hunger was not the issue. The issue was that each choice carried...0 Yorumlar 0 hisse senetleri 5 Views 0 önizleme
