The Boy Who Swallowed The Sun

The sun is dying. Every morning, the sky above Eldershore flickers like a broken film reel. Clocks stop. Shadows lag. People vanish—and the world pretends nothing’s wrong. Kai Mercer, a quiet boy obsessed with recording the “light intervals,” is convinced it started the day his father vanished on a classified solar mission. When a transfer student named Hannah arrives with a camcorder that captures what no human eye can see, the two uncover the truth behind Project Aurora—a failed government attempt to digitize human memory through sunlight. The experiment succeeded. Too well. Now Kai sees echoes of the dead in reflections, hears his father’s voice in static, and dreams of the sun calling his name. And when the world begins to fade, Kai will do the unthinkable. He’ll swallow the sun—so that someone, somewhere, remembers the light.
