Compound Interest

Ellis Wren

Silas Crane runs Cleveland the way he runs his spreadsheets: every eviction counted, every kindness written off. On Christmas Eve his dead partner Aaron Kline calls to say seven years of interest have come due, and three nights of arithmetic begin. The past shows Crane the apprentice he was before money became his only language; the present shows him a city that shares without him; a silent spirit shows him the only future his formulas allow. What follows is not a miracle but a decision: a raise, a surgery, and whether a man can repay a debt that has no column in the ledger. A modern ghost story about the cost of a life priced to the cent.
