“Time doesn’t forget. It folds.”

When two estranged brothers unearth a rusted time capsule buried behind their childhood school, they expect nostalgia. Instead, they find impossibility: a smartphone from the future, a New York Times front page dated 2025, a pulsing black cube, and a photograph of one of them—older, hollow, erased.

As their world begins to unravel, they realize the capsule wasn't a message from the past—it’s a fracture in time itself. Trevor vanishes. Clocks slip. Reflections lie. And the narrator is forced into a recursive descent where memory, identity, and causality collapse under the gaze of an ancient force called The Correction.

With each loop, reality reshapes. The narrator must uncover the truth about the artifact, his future self, and the role he played in the coming apocalypse. But some answers demand sacrifice—and time always takes its due.

The 1975 Anomaly is a haunting meditation on memory, recursion, and the cost of forgetting, written in immersive, mythic prose that blends speculative horror with psychological dread. Perfect for fans of Dark, Annihilation, and Philip K. Dick.
