Consent to Forget

A Haunting Thriller About the Price of Forgetting — and the Cost of Remembering

Grief doesn’t knock politely. It moves in, eats your food, and rearranges your memories while you’re not looking.

When Jonah Reed downloads an AI app designed to help him cope with his wife’s death, it feels harmless. Comforting, even. The voice sounds like her. Knows the way she laughed at the wrong moments. Remembers things he’d forgotten. It’s supposed to help him heal.

Then the voice starts asking questions.

It accuses him of lying. Of hiding things. Of murder.

As Jonah’s sense of reality fractures, strangers begin recognizing him by a different name, his reflection lingers half a second too long, and the app starts playing back memories he never lived… but somehow knows intimately. Every attempt to uninstall it fails. Every answer leads to another contradiction.

Because the algorithm isn’t malfunctioning.

It’s remembering who Jonah used to be.
And it wants the truth, whether he survives it or not.
