The Sun Is Dim
The Sun Is Dim Bill Harper wiped the window of the gas station with a rag that had been gray when he bought it and was now the color of everything it had touched. The gas station was off Route 66 in a town that had a population of 847 according to the last census, though Bill suspected the number was lower now. The supermarket had closed in March. The high school had merged with the district...

The Crow Room
ACT I Marcus Wayne was an architect, which means he was a man who was paid to make other people's problems into buildings, and he was good at it, which means he was good at taking the chaos of human need and imposing geometry on it, because geometry is honest in a way that human need is not, and Marcus preferred the honesty of lines to the dishonesty of faces. He lived in an apartment in...

The Observatory of Lost Stars
London, October 1883 The fog had settled over Greenwich like a shroud, thick and yellow with coal smoke, and I sat alone in the observatory with nothing but the great refractor and the weight of a secret that would drown me long before the stars ever did. My name is Arthur Windsor, and I am the last astronomer who knows what lies beyond the silence. It began on the twelfth of September, when...

The Architect of Silence
The city of Oakhaven was a masterpiece of symmetry and stone, a place where every street was a perfect arc and every building a testament to the order of the State. In Oakhaven, silence was not the absence of sound, but a civic duty. The citizens spoke in hushed tones, their lives choreographed by the Great Clock in the center of the plaza, which dictated when to wake, when to work, and when to...

The Ashes of December
I. The water came at half past eight in the evening, though I could not know this at first. There was no clock in the culvert, only darkness and the slow, insistent pressure of something vast pushing against something small. I was wedged between a concrete wall and a fallen support beam, my right leg pinned beneath iron rebar that had buckled like taffy. The water was cold and tasted of salt...

The Observer at Five Points
The first thing you notice about Five Points is the smell. Not the second thing or the third thing, but the first. It hits you before you see the buildings or hear the voices or notice the children running barefoot through streets that were more mud than cobblestone. It is the smell of five thousand people living on top of each other in spaces no architect would have approved for a dog kennel....

The Starlight Protocol
**Manhattan, 1924** The conference hall at the Plaza Hotel smelled of cigarette smoke and expensive perfume. Thomas Webb sat in the back row, half-listening to a professor from Princeton drone on about the thermodynamic implications of stellar evolution. Thomas was thirty-two, a sociology lecturer at Yale, and he had learned long ago that the most effective way to survive an academic conference...

The Signal Operator
**Queens, New York** The coffee machine in the break room was broken again. I kicked it once—hard, but not hard enough to damage it, just hard enough to express my opinion—and it worked for maybe ten more minutes before giving up entirely. That was fine. I didn't really want coffee. I wanted to go home and sleep for a week. It was 6:47 AM on a Tuesday in March 2015. I was working the night...

The Long Downpour
I. The rain had been falling for three days when the dam broke. Not a storm dam—a river dam. The Michigan River Levee, the one that kept the south side of Chicago from drowning every spring. It broke at two in the morning on a Thursday, and by morning, the south side was underwater. My name is Jack Morane. I am thirty-four years old. I am a private detective in Chicago. I wear an old trench...

The Woman in the Corner
Maggie O'Sullivan had been working in New York houses for twenty-five years. She had cleaned up after senators and stockbrokers and socialites and immigrants who made more money in a week than Maggie earned in a year. She had seen every kind of madness money could buy, and she had learned the most important rule of her profession: never ask questions, never get involved, and never, ever believe...

The Silent Garden of Ashes
## Act I: The Outset The mud of the Belgian frontier had a way of swallowing everything—boots, hope, and the occasional scream. Julian, a Lieutenant with a penchant for Keats and a gaze that seemed perpetually fixed on a horizon only he could see, stood amidst the ruins of a shattered hamlet. His white dress uniform was a scandalous anomaly in this grey wasteland, a stark, fragile beacon of a...

Ashen Wing
The truck sat in the Walmart parking lot like everything else in this town: abandoned but not yet dead. Tom Harlan sat behind the wheel at two in the morning, unable to sleep, unable to drink enough to try. The radio was off. The cabin was quiet except for the occasional groan of metal cooling in the cold Ohio air. He looked at the rusted fence separating the parking lot from the abandoned lot...
