The Last City Novels & Stories

Rowan: “Colleges can wait. The world can wait. We’ve got one more summer to burn the sky down right.” Above us, the Milky Way shifts. The stars rearrange themselves into one quiet, blazing sentence: YOU WERE NEVER LEAVING. We stay on the field until dawn, laughing, crying, planning a year that belongs to no campus, no kingdom, no prophecy. Just us. Four days left of summer? Good. We’re going to need every second. The Last Night of Summer August 31, 2029 – 11:59 p.m., the ridge above Hot Springs

Rudi folded his arms on the table. "They took over our gang and turned it into a faction." Daffa stroked his chin while thinking about something. "Wasn't Star just an old motorcycle community?" Daffa could only recall what was in his mind at the moment. "May I answer?" Yoga interrupted the conversation. "I've heard a story that the Star gang once fought against the Bulldog gang." "The Bulldog gang?" Daffa furrowed his brow. "Do you mean the Bulldog gang that almost controlled the entire city?" Rudi asked. It turned out he knew about it.

ARIA I haven't seen Charlie since Enzo took her, I saw them comeback but without Charlie, I tried to find her around but there's no sense, I also tried to call her on her phone but I found out she left her phone on her bag. I was getting worried, I don't want to ask Enzo or any of his friends but they are the only person I could ask since they are the last person who's been with Charlie. I saw them on their usual spot on the cafeteria, nervous but I'm much nervous for what might could have happen to Charlie.

It’s my last link to Aiden. The paramedics tell me to hold on a little longer and I hear one of the nurses snap at Lilith telling her that now is not the time for this behavior. That’s the last thing I heard before my world went black.

[Didn't get to say this earlier, but I'm out of forgiveness cards. [Let's get a divorce.] My phone started blowing up right after.

It was just that this time, I was leaving their world for good. Jason looked like he was about to ask where I was going, but Kat eagerly pulled him into the cab before he could speak. The cab then sped away, leaving a trail of smoke behind as it slowly disappeared from my sight. I looked in the direction it had gone and said to myself quietly, "This time, you're the one who left me. You're forever gone from my world from this point forward."

A few weeks later, Dante's father sent a message through Augustus Voss: "The girl is no longer our concern—for now." Damien's father had negotiated a quiet truce, offering shipping rights to Moretti's ports in exchange for dropping the matter. But the old man's final words were, "We do not forget." I learned all this from Damien, who told me calmly over tea. "My father handled it. We're neutral, but we're not weak." He squeezed my hand. "They won't touch you while I'm here."

And suddenly frowned. Interesting. Very interesting. The First Memory stepped forward. "The city is resisting him." Everyone froze. "What?" The woman pointed toward the ground. Silver light flowed beneath the streets. Ancient symbols illuminated. The city itself was waking. Not the frozen citizens. Not the statues. The city. The City of Lost Possibilities had been built for a purpose. And now it was remembering that purpose. The Third Silence noticed too. His smile faded. And then, something impossible happened. The city attacked him.

That night, Sinead opened the ticketing app and searched for a direct flight from the city of Lunacoast to the city of Aragon, a major city in the country of Espada. As soon as she was done purchasing the ticket, Nelson walked in with Irene. "Sinead, I've got good news. Irene has agreed to be with me. You're the first person I'm telling. I'm a pretty good friend, right?" Looking at their tightly clasped hands, Sinead nodded, her tone calm. "Congratulations."
