    Summary

    Mahalia has the room on the corner, less because she'd asked for it than because nobody else had wanted it. The view is nothing special: no neon, no dazzling architecture, no illicitly schizophrenic vista of the cities—nothing particularly Ul Qoman at all.

    Summary

    Set sometime post-novel. It features minor characters and original characters and several POVs. Possibly minor spoilers for the events of the novel, but pretty major ones for the concept. You'll probably just get confused if you try to read this without knowing the universe!

    Bookmarker's Notes

    A young woman wakes up after a traffic accident not knowing where she is. A short, high-impact story that really captures the Kafkaesque unease of the novel.
