    Summary

    For a moment, no longer Lieutenant, and no longer Colonel.
    Outside the hospital, there is only chaos, the silence and stupefaction from having seen the face of God.
    And there is no one to tell them to stop, to oppose or object. No laws, no regulations, no reality. In that moment there is no foreseeable future, and the past is something as distant as the edge of their shared room.
    They have an endless supply of moments. It is their hallucination, this delusion of transcendence.

    Summary

    In the beginning, the author created a story, dragging it into existence from the dust.

    It was a story about stars and space and time –– the past, present, and future mingling and pulling souls backwards and forwards through the margins of the world.

    But beneath every story, there is another story. There is a hand within the hand. There is the Truth within the Truth.

    For the story is also one of a team and their contentions with friendship, and hope, and survival, and wisdom, and pain. In 1914, Vato Falman grapples with exile, evil, and the Crimson Alchemist. In 1910, Kain Fuery's first week at Eastern Command ends in tragedy. In 1900, Heymans Breda encounters a stranger in a place of lost luggage and lost souls. In 1912, Jean Havoc uncovers a horrific secret in the bowels of East City. In 1913, Maes Hughes decodes a warning in the pages of an old book.

    And, always, a man... an alchemist doomed to wander the dark causeways of the universe. Stringing memories and moments together like a strand of pearls.

    In the beginning, the author created the story, dragging it into existence from the dust.

    But now the author is old... and the story he once laid out and ruled has been snatched away...

    Summary

    He watched her sleep and dreamed of sunlight. It streamed through the blinds in ribbons, cutting her scars and her skin into lines made of yellow. He watched her sleep and dreamed of memories. They were always there at the edge of his mind. Her, in a backdrop of green. Her, curled on the couch. Her, hands stained purple from berries picked from the bushes behind her father’s house. He took a pen and paper from his bedside table. He wrote down everything he loved about her. He filled the page.
