Truth After Dark Chicago Novels & Stories

Meanwhile, The ATG Tower in Chicago was a spear of obsidian and cold LED light, piercing a sky that had never truly recovered its natural color. It didn’t pulse with the rhythmic, organic heat of the St. Louis Arch; it hummed with the high-pitched, predatory whine of a machine that was hungry.

Instead it terrified me. Because Tristan hated uncertainty more than almost anything. If he admitted he didn’t know something, the truth was usually much worse. I turned toward the window beside the bookshelves. Downtown Chicago shimmered faintly in the distance beyond rows of brick buildings and autumn trees.

I look up at Ricardo "I do not think it can be so easily explained, Ric. Our world is a dark phantom. One slip in your mental capacity and you could be sucked into the darkness forever. Skylar makes me forget the darkness even exists. She numbs my urge to kill and maim by just breathing. She brings order to my chaotic life. I'm not killing her, Ric." Ricardo nods. "Of course. Of course, man. She's yours, I get that. She was yours from the start. I won't meddle." I hear the catch in his voice. "But?" I ask. "Does she know who you are? Who we are?"
