The rain hasn't stopped for twenty years. Elias is a man unmoored, living in the echo of a life that went wrong. When he steps through a fracture in time to save his brother from a fatal accident, he thinks he has cheated fate. Instead, he has become a glitch.
The universe has an immune system. Hunted by the terrifying Collectors and aided only by a renegade mechanic and a brass sphere that runs on stolen time, Elias must navigate a world that is slowly losing its color and texture. From a shop of forbidden clocks in the Lower East Side to a gas station that shouldn't exist, the road leads North.
The Lighthouse is waiting. At the end of the road lies the answer to the paradox. But the Lighthouse doesn't just guide ships; it imprisons memories. To make his brother real again, Elias must face the ultimate question: If you could save the one you love, would you be willing to be forgotten?
A haunting tale of sacrifice and survival, The Damp Remains explores what happens when we refuse to let go of the past.
