Goodreads asked Richard Jones:

What are you currently working on?

Richard Jones I am now working on a short story titled "47 Seconds". It is based on this passage in Connect: "Mern had heard a story once about a Mech that drove around a set of buildings. It followed the same exact path, at the same speed, day and night. Local scrappers would try and time it and get into and out of the buildings between the rounds of the Mech. Some did and came out with various things from the buildings that came from Before. Many more did not make it and ended up as dark stains on the smooth stone around the building. "

It is set in the world of After but is stand alone and not really related to the stories in Connect or Contact.
