First draft

The Quiet Room at the End of the Hall

After a small coastal archive in County Donegal begins receiving anonymous corrections to its own records, archivist Mara Keane notices that the changes point to a disappearance everyone insists never happened. The deeper she digs, the more the building itself seems to be arranging what can and cannot be remembered. It becomes hard to tell whether the archive is hiding a crime, or helping someone rewrite one.
