Produktbeschreibung

The Forgotten Arrival is a dark urban fantasy short story set in the haunted sprawl of Meridian City, where memory itself can be rewritten.

Inspector Aya Lin of the Occult Crimes Division is called to investigate a series of impossible cases: citizens appearing in the city fully formed, with apartments, jobs, and histories that collapse under the first touch of scrutiny. They remember everythingexcept how they came to Meridian. Their lives feel staged, as though someone has inserted them into the city's records like misplaced sentences in a corrupted file.

At first, the anomalies appear to be clerical errors, a bureaucratic hiccup in the Ministry of Records. But Aya knows patterns don't lie. Each case carries the same unnerving details: keys that open no doors, dates stamped that never existed, faces that vanish from photographs. The deeper she digs, the more her own file begins to fractureher parents alternately alive and dead, her reflection lagging half a second behind.

Her search leads her to a sealed wing of the Archives, shut since the blackout of 1979. At midnight, the doors open by themselves. Inside, typewriters clatter without hands, spitting out files of people still alive, their names rewritten in ink that bleeds upward through the paper. Aya discovers the city is not simply documenting livesit is writing them, pulling fragments of people across thresholds of memory to patch its own hunger.

When the typewriters begin to type her name, Aya must decide: reveal the truth and risk erasure, or seal the Archive and let the phantom citizens vanish as if they never were.

The Forgotten Arrival is a tale of memory, identity, and horror in the margins of an urban fantasy worlda story where the city itself is the author, and every citizen a provisional draft.

Fans of atmospheric dark fantasy, occult investigation, and stories that blur the line between noir and nightmare will find themselves at homeand unsettledin this chapter of Meridian City.
