Apokalypsis

An old man on a volcanic rock at the edge of the empire. Apokalypsis is the Greek title of the Book of Revelation — it means unveiling.

Molasses

January 15, 1919. The temperature has risen overnight from below freezing to above it. A two-million-gallon tank of molasses stands on Commercial Street in the North End of Boston. He is not on Commercial Street when it happens. He is in an office on the other side of the city, reading a set of plans for a water treatment facility in Dorchester — doing the ordinary work of a man who assesses structures and writes what he finds and goes on to the next structure. He hears the tank go. Then the proceeding, and what remains.

Root Access

The narrative skin of the Concordance architecture. Joriel is the Architecture walking. Mercel is Peter. Elkan is John the Baptist. The seven root terms on the Sabbath chapters — Shalom, Emet, Logos, Selah, Abba, Ruach, Maranatha — are the Trinity running through the sabbath architecture. The same story, told in the language of code.

Participant-Initiated Risk

An island, a reality production, an insurance rider on page thirty-one, four Starlink terminals no one authorized, a clause for behavioral alteration attributable to biological exposure, and a thumbs-up emoji at 11:51 PM. About the distance between knowing and doing — and what fills the gap.
