Rohan Quine, “The Platinum Raven” – chapter 13 “Black and rust and ochre over the plain” – first sample – video
The Platinum Raven glances up at the podium across the room, and smiles with a burst of love and pride at what she sees. High above the dance-floor, Scorpio dances among the silver mirror mist, lurid in the lights—every movement so electric, so mesmerically divine, that a crowd has stopped below him, just to wonder—as with perfect unawareness and control he taps an energy that ought to make him vaporise…
Then she bends her gaze to the DJ booth and grins with a different love. Demonic in that black-wired den up there, working both the music and the lights in the hall, Amber’s making love with destruction and violence, radiant in damage, spinning heaven on a sound-flight destined for hell. “And we’re just getting started,” she reflects.
