The mayor had finally agreed to the zoning proposal. It had cost Malcolm one more dinner than he had calculated but ensured Atlas corp’s plans to expand would be crushed. It also ensured that the properties of one Eli Jenkins would be all but useless—an unimportant but not unintended side effect. Call it a bonus.… Continue reading Part 2: XXI Malcolm

XVIII Gram
Failure, why did you even try? He’s probably dead, and it’s all your fault. It isn’t my fault, it isn’t my responsibility, I did the best I could, it isn’t my responsibility. You don’t actually believe that, do you? You piece of shit. It was dark. Gram’s eyes were closed. Laying restlessly in bed. The… Continue reading XVIII Gram
XVI Alex
Looking over the railing, Marco could feel the wind on his face. Funny, looking down at everything from up there. Those little square patches where people lived and died, fucked and cried, it all seemed silly. Feeling a soft warmth squeezing his arm, he looked over at his companion and decided he liked that view… Continue reading XVI Alex
Gram XV
Gram walked speedily through the streets, weaving through the after work rush fluidly as he overtook them. Normally he felt exhausted after he finished his shift, but today was different. He could hear the distant chirping of birds. There was a certain beauty in the way the haze refracted dusk’s light giving the air a… Continue reading Gram XV
XIII Gram XIV Marco and Luna
Gram stood in front of the door. It had been a week since he had left an inebriated Marco to sleep it off. It was after work, and he had hoped by now Marco’s daily revelry would have calmed down, at least enough for him to remember a single bloody conversation. He knocked at the… Continue reading XIII Gram XIV Marco and Luna
XI Eli & XII Lioncourt
The carriage looked opulent, but Eli would have appreciated if more work had been put into the heating system as he rubbed his hands together. It had been the most expensive looking carriage he was able to book. Always lead with a good foot forward. The meeting had to go well. If he could get… Continue reading XI Eli & XII Lioncourt
X Gram
“Alright, buddy, listen to me.” Gram was almost finished with his second bottle of wine (still couldn’t taste the leather) and yet managed to speak as clearly as with the first glass. His speech, if nothing else, merely accelerated. He went over details and contingencies and counter-contingencies and counter-counter-counter-contingencies. Every time he came up with… Continue reading X Gram
IX Malcolm
Malcolm watched out the window of the carriage as the gas lamps that lined the streets began to be lit, illuminating the city with cones of warm light. Upper Elysia was kept immaculate by the small army of guarantee workers in grey robes. They kept their heads low, scrubbing at masonry and picking up cigarette… Continue reading IX Malcolm
VIII Gram
Ordering a rare ribeye and a bottle of Hermitage in his best accent, Gram tried to add an air of suaveness to mask his giddy, childlike excitement. He had never been to Upper Elysia, but Marco paid for his pass. “I’ll ‘andle the waiter good, make sure those lazy lads actually cook the steak!” Marco… Continue reading VIII Gram
