The Space Between Stations
Miriam first noticed the sound of a spoon striking porcelain: three uneven taps, followed by the scrape of a chair across what she thought was linoleum. Beneath these domestic noises ran a mechanical hum. She adjusted the equalizer and leaned toward the monitor, listening as water dripped into a metal sink and someone cleared her throat. The recording ended before the woman spoke, leaving Miriam with the peculiar impression that the silence had been interrupted rather than restored.

Flight 608
Amos Hensley had spent thirty-one years helping strangers disappear into the Atlantic, and he had never once considered the possibility that the ocean might return them. His job at Blackwood Tracking Station was simple enough to explain to a child and difficult enough to ruin a man’s life. Identify aircraft, record their positions, relay their requests, and maintain a permanent log of every transmission received. The military called the work surveillance. Amos called it bookkeeping for the living, a distinction he considered increasingly important as the years passed. He had learned that a man could endure almost anything provided his employer supplied the correct terminology.

The Big and Little End
Dougie was rumaging through some of the ancient technology he found in the attic of his grandpa's house. He had found an old-school tape recorder and his gramps had saved double A batteries. At age ten, nothing is more exciting than figuring out how energy is stored in a battery and can change to mechanical energy. However, Dougie did not expect to hear the words on the tape within the recorder. It was labelled with a script he had seen in the past. He had been told it was cursive writing, but that had been eliminated for years now. It reminded me of a picture with writing on the back that his mom had told him was a birthday card. Paper had become an artifact and most had been eaten or worn out. This tape looked like a golden thread and he was curious about what it did. He figured out how to turn on the machine and heard the story within.
