The Town That Forgets
editer Name : Nadeem Shah Every night, the town of Elowen forgets. Like clockwork, as the moon rises past the chapel bell tower, a hush falls over the crooked streets and ivy-covered homes. By dawn, memories are wiped clean—names, events, heartbreaks, joy, shame—gone like chalk in the rain.
