The Archivist’s Lie: Some Documents Were Forged to Protect the Guilty

After the war, peace isn’t always written in truth.

Jakob, a reserved and methodical archivist, is tasked with restoring historical documents buried beneath a ruined city hall. When he stumbles upon a war diary belonging to General Kessler—once hailed as a national hero—he expects the usual sanitizations. Instead, he finds inconsistencies. Missing dates. Redacted names. Mentions of a covert operation, codenamed Sable, that appears in no official record.

As Jakob digs deeper into the ashes of history, he begins to suspect that the story written by the victors hides a chilling reality. Whispers buried in margins. Photos with vanishing faces. Memos that were never meant to survive. And the deeper he searches, the more the archive turns on him.

When his own name appears in a sealed file dated years before his birth, Jakob is forced to confront a possibility far worse than censorship—that his identity might be a fabrication crafted to serve the very system he sought to expose.

In a world where paper remembers more than people do, how much of your past can be rewritten before it rewrites you?
