Exceptional Story for January: The Stolen Soiree
"The glow penetrates everything in the room. There are chains around it, but you see through them like they’re glass. It is alive."
The Affable Explorer has returned from the far Unterzee, with a new wonder to display to the great and the good. Attend the auction on his island mansion. Learn about the Specimen, and your fellow bidders. Just who is the Self-Declared Heiress? What ailments trouble the Angular Butler? What will any of you do to get your hands on the Explorer’s precious treasure?
