Summary
Ratio said steadily, “If you have a few minutes, I can walk you through something to settle your nerves.”
“Settle my nerves? Why not? Can’t hurt. Hit me with it, doc.”
That was how it started.

Summary
At Montresor Academy, there's an anatomy class that only gets taught once every few years or so. Professor Fisher is the only instructor, and he's very careful about his planning. Only very particular students are invited to participate, and even then only if he can find a suitable live subject: Someone easy to coerce, easy to manipulate, and most importantly, someone who won't make any complaints.
Fisher is very good at what he does, and this year he's struck gold. Quentin Cross is the most perfect subject he's ever found. This year's class is going be extremely special.
--
At the front of the classroom, central to the main demonstration area, was a doctor’s examination chair, the sort with separated footrests for the legs, semi-reclined. Spotlights borrowed from the theater department were arranged around it. A camera on a tripod was positioned off to one side and a large projection screen was set up so that observers and subject would both be able to see the screen. Four chairs for those observers were placed in a semi-circle towards the front of the classroom.
“No,” Quentin said, looking ill. He took a step backwards. “No, I can’t. It’s impossible.”

Summary
“The Yiling Laozu kept a journal,” they say. Greedy eyes pore the pages for secrets to godlike power.
What they find instead is a mortal man’s tragedy.

Summary
"What do you think it is to be human?” Flins asks, slow and deliberate, fingers tracing the rim of his drink.
“To be human is to feel,” Illuga says, definitively. “To be human is to hurt, to bleed, to cry. And then wake up the next day and do it again. Wake up a thousand times and do it again, knowing that the pain doesn’t stop.”
Flins’ gaze is piercing. “Why?”
“Because if we can still feel pain, we can still feel joy.”
Illuga thinks he knows what it means to be human. He has a few things to learn.
