Valentine’s Day in Ashford Hollow means decorated storefronts, glowing lampposts, and red paper hearts strung across Main Street.

It also means someone will disappear.

In every cycle, a card appears inside one resident’s home. The message never changes.

"You were supposed to stop it."

Sometime during the night, they are gone.

By morning, reality rewrites itself. Names vanish. Reports are corrected. Grief dissolves into confusion.

Only the next marked person remembers those who came before.

This year, it is your turn.
