Short fiction with contemporary urban settings, well-drawn characters, and engaging plots. Perfect for commuting or reading in one sitting. These are "novelette" length works -- between 10,000 and 20,000 words -- longer than a short story, but shorter than a novella. Read them all!
As the temperature drops, Paris authorities make a plan to prevent deaths of the homeless: house them in disused train cars on the outskirts of the city. This unintentionally creates a social and political experiment that leads to a new form of society—and causes the police and authorities to clash with the homeless train dwellers and the anarchists who’ve come to support them.
