First draft
The Salt Archive
In a storm-battered coastal city, a quiet map restorer discovers that the old harbour records are written in salt, and that each corrected page changes what the city remembers. As she follows the archive’s hidden system, she finds her missing brother may have been erased on purpose, along with several other lives the city has learned to forget.
