Galactic Horrors

For three years, an American cave surveyor working for CERN has kept a secret beneath the Large Hadron Collider: a forgotten smugglers' cave, far below the collider's tunnel, that appears on no map but his own. On the final night before the winter shutdown, he is sitting there in the dark when the rock above him cracks and a pencil-wide hole lined with glass opens in the roof, with another in the floor beneath it.

By morning, five men are dead in the cavern overhead. Whatever the beam created now rises through the mountain every eighty-four minutes, takes a hand's width of anything within reach (rock, steel, or a man), and falls back into the earth, a little deeper each time. The crews dig to stay ahead of it while he keeps quiet about what his map shows.

Soon it will sink beyond anyone's reach for good, and the last place it can still be met is the cave he wanted for himself. Every hour he stays silent makes the truth harder to tell, and other men are paying for it.

For eleven years he has driven piles into the Mississippi as the second man on somebody else's rig. When a mining company offers him a hammer of his own, the work is seven weeks from Earth, inside a dead creature the size of a moon. Night crews drive bronze wedges into its copper veins, and what boils out is a metal purer than any furnace at home could make.

He loves those nights alone in the dark with the hammer finally in his hands. Yet the men who vanish in the galleries are never brought home, and the carcass shrinks a little every time its veins are drawn. The company cares only that the metal keeps coming.

Then a new engineer arrives with a rush order and picks him to open the largest vein in the creature, one no one has ever dared to tap. It is everything he crossed the solar system for, and taking it means ignoring every sign of what the giant does with the men who die inside it.

On Alaska's dying North Slope, a pipeline welder lets a nineteen-year-old apprentice carry the blame for the failed weld that killed the boy. Facing an inquiry, he signs up to be frozen for a single year in an old coal mine on Svalbard. He wakes more than four thousand years later, in a world without towns or lights, where the people by the fjord know exactly what men like him are for.

On the mountain above the shore, the old seed vault still juts from the glacier, and the islanders need the seed inside to keep their fields alive. Something lives in the dark behind its steel doors, and it claims whoever crosses each threshold first. So the thawed sleepers walk in front, door after door, with spears at their backs.

When the elders press the brass key that wakes the frozen into his hand, choosing who walks next becomes his job. His old crew still sleeps in the racks, among them the foreman who covered for him and the brother of the boy he let take the blame. Their capsules are slowly failing, and every man he saves from the ice will have to climb it ahead of him.

For twenty years he has been the cleanest cutter on a hunting ship that harpoons the slow beasts grazing the dark between the stars. Their oil keeps a frontier colony alive far from the sun, and the purest of it, rendered from the young ones, burns in the hospital lamps over babies born too soon, as it once burned over him. Like every hunter, he keeps one rule: never cut into the stomach.

Then his captain wants a young beast stripped before a rival ship reaches market, and he cuts through a thin patch every old hand leaves alone. Inside, sewn into the floor by pale growth, lies a lifeboat from an ore hauler lost eight years ago. Five of its men are still alive, and the one who greets him has been waiting for someone to cut through.

Bringing them home should feel like a miracle. Yet no one aboard wants to ask how they survived, and every young beast he has ever stripped was cut loose with its stomach still sealed. The clean oil he was so proud of comes from a source he never questioned, and now he cannot stop wondering who else is waiting in the dark.

Nearly seven miles beneath the Pacific, a three-man submersible mapping the Mariana Trench finds what no chart has ever shown: a perfectly round shaft cut into the rock, with pale, eyeless creatures the length of a bus drifting up out of it impossibly slowly. The engineer who built the sphere's life support tells the others they have air enough to watch for six hours, so they stay.

When they surface, the support ship is gone, and so is everyone they knew. Beside that shaft, every minute cost a year up top, and the things they watched rise have had four centuries to grow; now they haul themselves ashore each night to scrape the coast of Guam bare. High on the mountain, the survivors' descendants have been waiting for the crew to come back up.

They want a second dive with the village's blasting powder, to bring a slab of the trench wall down across the hole, though every minute near it will cost the people above six more weeks. The sphere holds three men and three men's air, yet desperate families are paying for seats aboard it, and the engineer must decide how long he can let them believe there is room.
