Fragments of Silence

Survival isn’t always about escaping danger — sometimes it’s about escaping yourself. When a devastating tragedy strikes a quiet school in rural Oregon, a group of teenagers survives the flames… but nothing else. Placed in a secluded rehabilitation dorm under the care of the enigmatic Dr. Marcus Heller, the survivors are encouraged to remember, reflect, and recover. Yet the more they uncover, the more reality fractures. Memories contradict, secrets fester, and every truth seems to hide a lie. At the center is Caleb Adams, a silent and observant survivor, haunted by what he can’t recall. As he pieces together the night of the tragedy, he begins to fear that the real horror isn’t the fire — it’s what humans are capable of when guilt, fear, and desperation take over. Across multiple volumes, The Quiet Ones explores the darkness of the human mind: trauma that manipulates, lies that protect, and memories that deceive. Every revelation twists the survivors’ perception of themselves, their friends, and the world around them. In this story, horror isn’t a monster lurking in the shadows — it’s inside, staring back at you in the mirror.
