What the Bell Takes

In the quiet town of Ravenhollow, an abandoned bell tower has stood silent for decades - until every Thursday at midnight, the old bell begins to ring on its own. No one pulls the rope. No one climbs the stairs. And each time it rings, one resident of the town simply forgets who they are - their name, their family, their entire life erased as if it never happened. When investigative journalist Ethan Blackwell begins digging into the pattern, he crosses paths with Mara Whitlock, a librarian who suspects the bell is tied to a decades-old tragedy the town has buried, and Daniel Cross, a skeptical detective who doesn't believe in curses until someone close to him loses their memory overnight.
As the three unravel the truth behind the tower, they realize the bell isn't malfunctioning or haunted at random - it's counting down to something, and it has already chosen who rings next.
