The Tenebrous Archives: The Serpent's Garden

A plant that remembers is a curiosity. A plant that remembers you is a weapon.

In a small town still haunted by the legacy of the mysterious Weeping Stone, a new threat has taken root. Dr. Lila Hart, a brilliant botanist, arrives at the reclusive Blackwood estate to investigate a botanical anomaly: a strange, invasive flower that blooms with a terrifying sentience. Its petals contain crystalline structures that don't just mimic memory—they steal it, store it, and transfer it to the unwitting.

Lila believes she can dissect this living archive, but the town is already fraying. As a slow, insidious wave of memory loss and unbidden recall sweeps through the community, the garden begins to ask for names as a form of currency. People start to forget the names of their children, only to remember the scent of a long-dead stranger’s kitchen.

The deeper Lila delves into the estate’s secrets, the more she uncovers a dark family history of deliberate, ethical engineering. The Blackwoods didn’t just discover this plant; they cultivated it, binding remembrance into living tissue for a purpose they left hidden in their meticulously redacted ledgers. Now, an unscrupulous dealer of memories has arrived, offering a solution at a terrible price: a piece of yourself.
