It was exactly twenty minutes past six o'clock in the evening, and the thick, suffocating harmattan dust hung thick inside the concrete cage, blocking out the remaining light of the fading sun.

Leah had champagne. The good kind. We raised glasses at midnight in the room and on the screen and said the things people said and meant them with the specific sincerity of people who had something real to celebrate. The year that was ending. Everything it had contained. Caden found me at the window at twelve fifteen. The city outside was doing its midnight thing lights and distant sounds and the specific quality of a city turning a corner. “Last year,” he said. “This year,” I s

The solstice arrived not with a shout, but with a suffocating, unnatural silence. At midnight, the air in the capital stopped moving entirely. The torches burning along the palace battlements didn't flicker; they turned a sickly, translucent green, then extinguished all at once, plunging the city into a darkness so absolute it felt heavy against the skin.

"Do you see." The Diner is still the same building. Square, flat, long glass windows. But now it glows with the same pale light as the moon. In fact the moon, the giant cold wolf moon, by some trick of the eye, seems to hover directly above it. The glass windows ripple like water.

He ended up promising to distribute candle waxes to each house. Eduardo was mentally drained by the time he returned to the palace.

She was sprawled on the floor, dirty, bleeding and weak.

In Zurich, biometric vaults opened. In Moscow, the entire power grid reversed polarity and caught fire. ~~~~~~~~~~ THE BLACK HOUSE — COMMAND BUNKER Candles. Paper. Sweat. No electronics. No radios. No air conditioning. Just pages burning from static charge. Roji shouted, “We’re blind!” Inez slammed her fist on the manual warboard. “Not just us. Everyone. All of them. Umbra’s hit the world.” Lorenzo didn’t speak. His eyes were fixed on Emilio.

Matthew Smith's voice came from behind me, sounding totally surprised. "Shirley? It's freezing out there. Come on in!" He did not even seem to care that I was sporting a six-month old baby bump.

I knew my suffering had ended. For now. I stepped out of the bathroom and noticed it was already evening. I quickly dressed and headed to Lunaris. The full moon hung low and smug in the sky like it knew something I didn’t.

He asked and no one could utter a word. "Can I leave? I am sleepy!" Mariana asked for the permission. "Get out!" Rafael ordered and she walked out and feeling lucky that she survived another crazy family meeting. "I hope she is alive, you can't give her easy death ... I'll be disappointed if you do that."
