Cartesz is a man of routine and propriety, of clockwork schedules and regimented footsteps. And most importantly, a man bound by spire songs that fill the city. The singers, chained to the roofs of the city's spires, give him the pattern of how to conduct his life. When one of those singers is knocked to the cobbled street, it falls to Cartesz to help her. As his carefully counted life becomes an uncertain mess of bureaucracy and mystery, he discovers what he's never given thought to, the cruelty of a city that so callously chains the singers to its roofs. Trapped by the Kafkaesque bureaucracy stifling so much of the city, what can he do to help the singer? Especially when his own grip on life seems to loosen... "The Spire Singers" is a novelette set in the same steampunk-fantasy world as Ausema's Spire City series, a story of strangeness and mystery, of the cruelty and caprice of the industrial era... and its odd sense of uncertain wonder. Come and explore this strange and lyrical world.
