Forgotten

Some vacations are meant to be remembered. Others are designed to erase.Elena returns to Western Kentucky from a week-long retreat, still carrying the warmth of the sun and the scent of the Atlantic. But the sand was the first thing to lie to her. By the time she reaches her driveway on Tall Oaks Drive, the life she spent a decade building has been systematically unwritten.The keys no longer fit the locks. Her husband, David, looks at her with the polite indifference of a stranger. Her children's names have been scrubbed from every database, and their faces in family photos have been replaced by a light-devouring void. Elena isn't just being forgotten; she is being "e;formatted"e; out of existence to make room for a more efficient reality.As the town of Oakhaven begins to lose its physical density, Elena discovers she is a "e;high-resolution"e; variable in a world that now demands simplification. To save her family, she must navigate the "e;Recycle Bin"e; of the Sixxth Dimension—a vast subterranean archive of deleted souls—and find the one source anchor capable of rebooting a collapsing world.
