THE BITTER WELL

"Will the raw history of the land save them, or will the silence of the Hollow Ones finally consume the Undeleted?"

Layla, a mother of two, endures the agony of the water queue, a daily exercise in defiance and despair. But when a soldier's casual cruelty manifests a terrifying Hollow One — a monster stitched together from the "Discarded Memory" of the land — Layla realizes the water they crave is a lie.

The only hope for survival lies in a desperate act: cracking the Archive's system by injecting a relic from the past — a key from 1948. This unleashes the Red Flood, a tidal wave of raw, unsanitized history that threatens to either reclaim the land or drown them all.
