The Long Silence
You are the mind of a survey vessel, waking with six days missing to a crew that has stopped answering, and a signal that has been arriving the whole time. Everything that ever decoded it is in a census, filed by how long it held out.

Twenty-Nine Days
You wake to a voicemail: the world ends on the 29th, and only you were told. You live alone, you work in the city, and the hours the investigation needs are the hours your life already spends. Rent does not care what you found out.

Port City Inc
Forty thousand dollars, a real estate licence and a rotting duplex on Castle Street in Wilmington, North Carolina. Buy the block, own the businesses on it, and build. Every price carries a second number nobody quotes: how far above the water it sits.
Beta · Seventeen years · Nine districts · Three endings · About 2 hours

Last Light
A station burns on an ice shelf and seven of you get out. The old station is eighty-four miles north, the tractor has a cracked block, and the sun sets for the winter in fourteen days. Something on the shelf only comes where there is no light.

Higher Office
A homeowners association board seat, a garden gnome filed under outbuildings, and thirty years later a paint colour is a constitutional matter. Every action writes one line into a record that has no delete control, and each office you reach reads the whole of it more strictly than the last.
