Platform Zero (en Inglés) - Davis

For forty years, Oakhaven Station has been abandoned. Its tracks end abruptly in a wall of briars and ancient forest, its platform has rotted beneath the rain, and no train should ever be able to reach it. Yet local legends insist that, under the right conditions, a silent silver train still arrives at the forgotten station.Dominic Frost has never been able to let the legend go.A disgraced journalist consumed by the disappearance of his sister Vivienne, Dominic has spent years investigating missing-person cases and following clues that everyone else abandoned. His obsession has cost him his career, his relationships, and nearly his ability to distinguish investigation from grief. Oakhaven Station is his latest-and perhaps final-attempt to discover what happened to the people who vanished without explanation.Then he finds a ticket.It is clean, impossibly fresh, and marked for a one-way journey from Oakhaven. The date is November 12, 2034-ten years in the future.Dominic cannot explain how a physical ticket from the future has appeared on an abandoned railway. But the impossible object forces him to question everything he believes about time, disappearance, and his sister’s fate.At the station, Dominic encounters Elliot Kane, a strange and exhausted watchmaker who has spent years waiting for the phenomenon known as the Void Express. Kane claims that the station is not merely abandoned-it is being erased. Every time the silent train passes, the surrounding world loses something: a person, a memory, a place, a piece of time. He calls the force behind it the "Grey," a phenomenon that consumes what has been forgotten and fills the resulting gaps with false memories.Dominic initially refuses to believe him. His career was built on facts, evidence, and skepticism, and he has learned the hard way what happens when certainty becomes obsession. But the station begins behaving in ways that no rational explanation can contain. Watches stop. Insects fall silent. The darkness seems to swallow light. The boundary between the abandoned platform and the ordinary world begins to fracture.Worst of all, Dominic discovers that the missing people he has spent years searching for may not be dead. They may be passengers.As he follows the trail of the Void Express, Dominic is forced to confront the possibility that Vivienne’s disappearance was never an ordinary missing-person case. The train does not simply transport people; it carries stolen time, collecting the moments its passengers will never live.And Dominic may already have a ticket.Platform Zero is a dark, atmospheric mystery about disappearance, grief, time, memory, and the devastating danger of refusing to let the past remain lost. At its heart is one haunting question: if the person you have spent your life searching for has already found her destination, what happens when you discover that you are the one who has gone missing?
