In May 1888, three hundred souls vanished from a mountain logging village overnight, leaving behind an intact ghost town and a blank space on federal maps. More than a century later, data analyst Ken Franklin steps through the Echo Chamber to find out why. He thinks he is a ghost: a detached observer running a routine safety audit. But in a town pushed to the brink of absolute paranoia by a predatory timber syndicate, a single lost notebook changes everything. Echo of the Blackwood Ridge Ledger is a gripping psychological time-travel short story exploring the terrifying cost of knowing the future, where the line between recording history and causing it completely dissolves.
