In Gannet Crossing, some deaths were remembered quietly.
Others were never recorded at all.
After her mother’s funeral, Clara Bell returns to her rural hometown intending to stay only long enough to help at the local newspaper while its recovering editor gets back on his feet. But inside the paper’s aging archive room, Clara begins noticing something unsettling:
Obituaries that were never printed.
Funerals the town remembers clearly.
Names that vanished from public record.
Entire lives quietly omitted from the pages meant to preserve them.
As Clara digs deeper into decades of missing notices, erased editions, and conversations that keep turning away from the same stretch of flooded road outside town, she begins uncovering a pattern woven into the community itself — one built on grief, silence, and the slow erosion of memory.
But the deeper she searches, the more unstable her own past becomes.
