  My life was just fine until he came down from his ivory tower. 
   
   
   
  Sure, I lived my days hiding deep in the closet, but I got to see all the beautiful guys in Neon Nights whenever I delivered fresh produce from my father's store. But that was the best we could do. 
   
   
   
  Until a man with wolfish eyes and a sinful smirk came to our little home and demanded that my father settle an old debt. He was going to ruin what little happiness we built for ourselves in Hudson Burrow. 
   
   
   
  The only thing I could do was offer my work in exchange for my father's mounting debts. I would go with Dominic Blackthorn to his secluded mansion, and I would work off the debt no matter how long it took. But real life is never so simple. 
   
   
   
  Dominic is a cruel and emotionless man with nothing but disdain for those around him. And the longer I am there, the clearer it becomes: Dominic's appetites extend beyond amassing his wealth. He wants the one thing he can never have. He wants me. 
   
   
   
  How long can I live with this heartless man before I start seeing something good in him? How long before he lets himself act on this impulse? I want to resist him, even if I see disarming warmth in his handsome smile.

  Doctor Ox's Experiment is a short story by Jules Verne, published in 1872. It describes an experiment by Dr. Ox and his assistant Gedeon Ygene. A prosperous scientist Dr. Ox offers to build a new gas lighting system to an unusually stuffy Flemish town: Quiquendone. As the town bore no charges, the offer is gladly accepted. The hidden interest of Dr. Ox is however not lighting, but large scale experiment on effect of oxygen on plants, animals and humans. He uses electrolysis to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen. The latter is being pumped to the city causing accelerated growth of plants, excitement and aggressiveness in animals and humans. The story ends up by destruction of the oxygen factory of Dr. Ox—by accident, oxygen and hydrogen got mixed causing a major explosion. Jules Verne acknowledges in the epilogue that the described effect of oxygen is a pure fiction invented by him.
