The Town That Forgot the Sky

Written by Rebecca Lynn McGinnis

Narrated by Benjamin Oliver Tate

Each night at exactly 9:03 PM, a fog blankets Alden Hollow—erasing memories, erasing yesterday. By morning, the townspeople smile, go to work, and live lives they don’t remember living. They never question the missing pieces. They never ask why.

Except Silas Farrow.

At fourteen, Silas is the only one who remembers. The only one who writes messages to himself in soap on mirrors, hides journals behind attic beams, and searches for the truth in a town that insists on forgetting. When a girl in a red hood appears—always watching, never speaking—he realizes he may not be alone. And when a note arrives with just three words—“Don’t trust Crowthorne”—everything shifts.

In a world meticulously staged and reset each day, Silas begins to uncover what lies beneath the fog: an artificial illusion, a machine that steals memory, and a rebellion hidden in fractured truths.

With the clock ticking and reality unraveling, Silas must decide—will he cling to the comfort of forgetting, or fight for a future where the stars return and memory means freedom?Perfect for fans of Stranger Things, The Giver, and Orphan Island, this haunting speculative mystery explores memory, identity, and the quiet courage of remembering.
