A Hundred Words from a Civil War

A Hundred Words from a Civil War
Written by Philip Purser-Hallard and part of the anthology A Romance in Twelve Parts, "A Hundred Words from a Civil War" serves as both an introduction to the City of the Saved for new readers and a continuation of the overarching plot started in the novel "Of the City of the Saved...".

The story takes the form of a series of vignettes (in the form of 100 word drabbles) from across the City, involving either previously introduced characters, characters from other Obverse titles or characters who are stand ins for other famous fictional characters, all occurring at roughly the same moment in time. Of particular note are those drabbles written by the other authors in the collection, each invited by Purser-Hallard to imagine their own main characters in the City.
