The City of the Residual Miracle
The City of the Residual Miracle is a speculative novel set in a city where fulfilled miracles leave residual effects that institutions, workers, families, and records must continue to handle.
The City of the Residual Miracle follows a civic and ritual world where completed acts do not simply end. Their traces must be observed, classified, bounded, or carried forward through public forms, quiet rooms, reports, chapels, and records. The novel can be read on its own as fiction: a city-scale narrative about help, evidence, naming, responsibility, and what remains after something has been answered.
Short Fragments
Small did not mean simple. It meant the city expected the patient to live.
Dull bells were for work that should not be praised.
Usually fruit has the decency to ignore you.
