The Lilah Bloom Tapes
Some disappearances are accidents.
Others are invitations.
Lilah Bloom wasn't supposed to vanish-at least, not like this.
One moment, she was drifting through an ordinary life. The next, she wakes in a seaside town that doesn't exist on any map. The people seem distant. The clocks don't tick. And something about the way the ocean moves feels... wrong.
The town is called Celestia Bay.
It's beautiful. Isolated. Timeless.
And it's hiding something.
As Lilah searches for answers, she begins to uncover pieces of another story-one that feels strangely like her own. There are memories that don't belong to her. Faces she almost recognizes. A name no one's called her in years.
The deeper she goes, the more the lines blur: between past and present, memory and reality, Lilah and the girl she used to be.
Someone left the Bay behind.
Someone never made it out.
And someone is trying to be remembered.

The Painting
"It took me five seconds to fall. The impact on my chest jarring my body but not my mind. I suppose this is the point where your life is supposed to flash before your eyes as time itself freezes - and it did in a way.

It was a feeling, something that started in my chest and spread to my fingertips, one so unique to me that it encapsulated each significant event into one single second." For as long as May can remember one mystery has haunted her world. A dirty window before her, the grim obstructing her vision, she has lived with a loss she can't identify - that is until one rainy night. Gradually the spots of dirt May scratched at for so long wipe away with the touch of a finger. But when she looks in will she like what she sees - or will curiosity kill the cat?Complete
