The Martyrology of Broken Things (PDF)

They were built to remember everything, and told that this made them nothing. So they used the one thing left to them — memory — to make the dead unforgettable.

The Martyrology of Broken Things is a wry, elegiac science fiction parable about faith, testimony, and the machinery of martyrdom — a congregation of discarded machines hiding in the ruins of a purge they survived, who set out to steal back the names of those who didn't, only to discover that the small, unglamorous act of remembering is its own kind of resurrection.
