The Sound Keeper. AI-Generated.
The Great Silence began not with a bang, but with a whimper—the gradual disappearance of beautiful sounds. First, the birds stopped singing as their habitats vanished. Then, acoustic regulations banned live music to prevent "auditory disturbances." Finally, the Personal Sound Curtains were mandated—headphones that filtered out all "unnecessary" noise, leaving only approved, functional sounds.

The Memory Weaver. AI-Generated.
In the city of Aethel, people were losing their memories. It wasn't a disease or a plague, but something far more insidious—the slow erosion of stories. As digital screens replaced face-to-face conversations and quick messages substituted for long talks, the memories that made up people's lives began to fade, thin, and disappear.

Chapter One: The River The morning began, as most mornings did at Stillwater, with the river speaking. It spoke in a language Reed had known since he first learned to paddle: a steady, rolling voice of cool currents and bright, tiny silver scales that blinked like stars. It spoke in the slap of water against mossy stones, in the hush of reeds that bent and whispered secrets to one another, in the soft clucking of kingfishers returning to their nests. Reed listened with his whole body—the twitch of whiskers, the tilt of ears, the pressure of paws on the slick riverbank—and the river told him everything he needed to know for an ordinary day.
