If you carved out the best twenty years from a sixty-year-old pine, how would you sell the remaining, fragmented forty years? It was like demanding only the lean meat from a slab of pork at the butcher’s—simply rude. Fortunately, the customer understood and bought the whole thing. - Story

THE SILENT LIGHTHOUSE Chapter 01
The road to Port Cinder was less a road and more a suggestion—a gravel-strewn scar through salt-blasted heath that ended abruptly at the edge of the world. Elin's survey vehicle, a sturdy wagon fitted with her custom mapping instruments, had complained for the last three miles. Now it sat silent, and so did she. Before her sprawled the town: a collection of weathered buildings huddled against the coast like sheep seeking shelter from an unseen storm. Grey stone, grey wood, grey sky. The only color…-

CHAPTER 12
BAKNik, PRIEST OF AMMON Memphis was growing more rapidly than ever. Almost half a million inhabitants at the last census, and already the optimists predicting a million by the next. Menni noticed the changes as he passed along rapidly on foot. As usual, when making an excursion through the city, unofficial and more or less secret, he had put on a heavy wig of curled hair and a frankly false beard which swung pendulous under his chin. He carried no insignia of rank, was unaccompanied, might merely…-

Perfect Crime Chapter 5
When she told Hou her plan, he was horrified. "You’re crazy," he said. "That man is your husband and my friend." But Lihua had anticipated his fear. She leaned close, her tone soft yet threatening. "If you refuse," she hissed, "I’ll tell him everything about us, about the nights you came to my house while he was gone." Hou froze. He was sixty then, his body weaker than it once was. If Zhao learned of the affair, Hou wouldn’t stand a chance. The younger man would beat him to…-

Perfect Crime Chapter 4
The police brought Hou in. But before his interrogation began, Kou called with breaking news: Lihua had confessed. At first, she was evasive, repeating that Zhao had abandoned them. Kou revealed the police already had evidence, and that Minhui was also under arrest. Her composure cracked. Under pressure, she began to cry, then admitted the truth: she, Minhui, and Hou Wenguo had killed Zhao Quancheng and buried his body in the same forested mountain area the police had searched earlier. It made…-

Perfect Crime Chapter 3
His account made it sound like Zhao had simply gone to start a new life elsewhere, but Kou wasn’t convinced. Two daughters, and not a single visit in over a decade? That didn’t fit the man’s character. The detectives suspected the worst: Zhao hadn’t left alive. After the interview, Li asked Kou, "Now that we have Ye Minhui’s name, should we go speak to him?" Kou shook his head. "Not yet. We shouldn’t tip anyone off. Let’s report back to Director Zhou first." Back at the Bureau,…-

The Pyramid Chapter 11
THE TEAR OF GOD RA "I summoned you," she said softly. "I'm glad that you thought enough of me to come." He remained silent. It was the only thing that he could do. No one was supposed to have enough presence of mind, or of breath, even, when spoken to by the goddess, to reply unless expressly ordered to do so. "Enter. Don't be afraid." Then, reading his thought: "We'll forget all about what happened over in the pyramid." He suspected that she was lying, but he felt a certain sense of relief at…-
