When the water of an artificial lake drops without warning, it uncovers the skeleton of a town that was supposed to stay buried forever. Ethan Blackwell, Mara Whitlock, and Daniel Cross are the first to walk its flooded streets, and the first to notice that something didn't stay behind when the lake was filled decades ago. Within days, phones across the valley start ringing with voices that shouldn't exist anymore. The dead are calling home, and they want something back.



Connor Hayes CH writes stories where the uncanny lurks just beneath the everyday. Drawn to forgotten places, drowned towns, and the stories water leaves behind, he builds worlds suspended between memory and dread. "When the Reservoir Remembers" is his latest work — a haunting tale about a town that never truly disappeared. Hayes lives quietly, letting old legends, half-buried histories, and the landscapes around him seep into everything he writes.
