First draft
The Quiet Weight of Maps
In a near-future Britain where flood barriers, delivery drones and municipal archives are all stitched together by fragile software, a local records clerk discovers that whole stretches of the city have been quietly edited out of official systems. As she follows the missing paper trail, she finds that the omissions are not just bureaucratic. Someone is using the map itself to decide who gets to remain visible.
