The Shadow Approaching Pier 42 Thirty-six hours of agonizing preparation dissolved into the freezing reality of the Chicago waterfront. The rain had returned, a driving, icy downpour that turned the lake into a thrashing monster of black waves and white foam. We were tucked into the belly of an old, unmapped fishing trawler that Silas had kept hidden in a private slip near Calumet. The engine groaned a low, rhythmic protest against the current, the smell of diesel and rotting fish thick enough to coat the back of my tongue.

"They are men of the docks. They know how to disappear into the hold of a ship. They can handle themselves. But my babies... they cannot handle a Wolf." We drove in a tense, suffocating silence toward the outskirts of the city, toward the roar of the water that had seen my world crumble earlier that day. When the waterfall finally came into view, it looked different, no longer a scenic backdrop for a Gothic tragedy, but the entrance to a fortress.

"The village elder was asking for you. He wants to know if you can help him draft a letter to the district office about the water pipes. It seems your 'way with words' is in high demand." Dewangga laughed. It was a sound of pure relief. "I think I can handle a letter about water pipes." That night, a storm rolled over the mountains. Thunder echoed through the peaks like the ghost of a distant war, but inside the hut, the fire crackled with a comforting warmth. Dewangga sat by the hearth, the laptop on his knees. He began to type the first chapter of his book. He wrote about a boy who lived in a house of glass, where every word was a stone and every smile was a mask. He wrote about the moment

The Pumphreys ran a store; the baby their daughter was expecting would arrive in the world to find itself fatherless, since the boy who had married the Pumphrey girl had drowned in the Republican River in the fall of the year, with the girl only just pregnant. There was only one horse hitched outside the Dry Bean when Augustus strolled up—a rangy sorrel that he recognized as belonging to a cowboy named Dishwater Boggett, so named because he had once rushed into camp so thirsty from a dry drive that he wouldn’t wait his turn at the water barrel and had filled up on some dishwater the cook had been about to throw out. Seeing the sorrel gave Augustus a prime feeling because Dish Boggett loved c

"We stop for one, we die with all of you!" The convoy was four jeeps in total now, the other two loaded with what little luggage and supplies a few pack warriors had managed to salvage. But half my pack was gone, swallowed by the river that used to be our backyard. Homes, barns, memories… everything was underwater. And these people… Goddess, their eyes. I couldn't look at them for too long, or I would crack. As their Alpha, I had failed them. “No, we haven't failed them,” Outlaw countered in my mind.

Not a downpour — just that steady, cleansing kind of rain that makes the world smell like beginnings. River typed the first sentence. I typed the second. It wasn’t about Rachel. Or Ava. Or even the past. It was a love story. But not just about us. It was about finding home after being lost. About rebuilding after the wreckage. About choosing each other in the quiet moments. At one point, River paused and turned to me. “Do you think people will read it?” I smiled. “I think the right people already are.” Ava – POV I closed the bookshop early one afternoon and drove out to the retreat. It had taken me months to find the courage. But Rachel’s name was still on the mailbox, still carved into the

I tossed the sheets in a ditch as the rain poured down. I knew the rain would wash the mud into the ditch to cover my tracks. I walked back to the truck and got inside as the rain poured down harder. I drove down the road with the windows rolled down as the breeze rolled in and the night air was alive with music of the creatures. I was getting a bit tired after a bit of traveling and much to my delight I saw a house in the distance with lights on. I pulled in and walked up onto the porch and knocked. After a while a woman answered the door and beckoned me in from the cold rain and offered me fresh clothes and a shower. I took them gladly and began washing the mud off of me. I slipped into th

Most of the water had frozen over. There were only a few shallow cracks where the stream still sloshed over the ice and I stared blankly at those small openings.

Elara asked, her bog-iron fingers groaning as she tried to shift her side against the locked teeth of the cylinder. "The margin stays empty " Thorne said, his wire brush dropping into the lime-slurry. "The wolves will have the timber and the refugees will have the glass. The capital won't be able to read the page. They’ll look at the west and see nothing but a big blue blot where the ink didn't take." Through the iron gratings beneath her heels a cold surge of water began to rise. It was the salty brine of the mountain’s lowest aquifer, the old well-water that had been buried deep below the first foundation stone. The water was rising fast, its surface covered in a white foam of lye-soap.

They're gone, the water devours them as though they never existed. I sob, holding onto the main mast as my boat creaks and groans beneath me, barely staying afloat in the raging sea. They are gone and I am alone. But then, a beam of light cuts through the darkness. A new boat is coming, someone who can save me. Hope bubbles up within me and I stand tall. Evan stands on the prow of a mighty ship, his hand shielding his eyes from the spray. His Army dress uniform is beautiful and perfect, the way it was at his funeral. He points toward me, and his ship turns. I'm saved.
