    Summary

    It’s been decades since I got my implants, became as much machine as man, and I’m still amazed at how strong the pull of my reptile brain is. How relentless certain kinds of memories are, when they should be tagged and easily relegated to compartments, to deep storage, like so much useless data.

    A little space noir in which Arthur and Eames encounter each other in dive bars.

    Summary

    San Francisco, March 2020

    Once, Eames had been the best blade runner in the Bay Area. Now, he lives with the physical and mental scars of the violence that ended his career. Eking out a living as a freelance replicant detector, he meets the inscrutable Arthur, a data analyst for Cobol who is very obviously hiding something. Eames' professional--and personal--fascination breaks Eames out of the rut he's been existing in for years, but also poses some dangerous questions he may not have the courage to answer.

    Summary

    I just, I don't even know. Arthur is a diver, Eames is a swimmer. They hooked up at the 2012 London Olympics. They haven't seen each other since. Arthur doesn't want a relationship, he's too focused on getting his gold medal. This was supposed to be crack and fluff and banter. And it turned into feelings and pining and I just don't even know. And I'll probably write more.

    Summary

    Arthur thinks Eames is dead and goes to Toronto (as one does).

    The title is from TS Eliot’s poem “The Hollow Men” and if you ever need imagery, I can imagine few better descriptions of Limbo than this entire freaking poem. (Limbo does not appear in this story, however.)
