The Echo in the Wire

The Echo in the Wire
“They built a machine to remember - and taught it how to forget.”

When a state-of-the-art data centre opens on a remote Cornish moor, it brings a digital scream. Technicians are plagued by visions of a long-dead miner, and security footage glitches with phantom figures.

Network engineer Ben Carter knows the system isn't faulty; it's being hacked by the land itself. In desperation, he turns to Dr. Elowen Carne, The Listener.

Ellie discovers the facility has been built on a mnemonic nexus, a place where the granite amplifies memory. The centre's powerful EM fields are shattering a century-old traumatic echo, broadcasting a loop of a miner's violent death.

To prevent a catastrophic psychic meltdown, Ellie and Ben must perform an impossible task: use the data centre’s own power to calm the furious ghost in the machine.

Haunting, intelligent, and quietly devastating.
