The Friday Trilogy

Every Friday at exactly 8:15 PM, the routine begins...YOU WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO REMEMBER is the first standalone story in The Friday Trilogy—a collection of atmospheric psychological suspense tales exploring the dark secrets hidden within our daily habits.

Every Friday at exactly 7:40, Milo scratches the front door three times and follows the same mysterious route through town—past an old church, across a stone bridge, and toward an abandoned railway station. At first, Ethan's family thinks it's just a strange habit. But when Milo disappears one Friday night and is found waiting at the old station, they discover that his journey may be connected to a forgotten chapter of their own family history. And some memories, it seems, are not always our own.

In the summer of 1994, time moved differently. There were no cell phones, no internet, and no screens glowing in the dark bedrooms of Oakridge. If you wanted to talk to your friends after dinner, you turned on a walkie-talkie and hoped the batteries weren't dead. For Sam, Leo, Maya, and Jake, the walkie-talkies were everything. They spent their days riding bicycles through the dusty lanes of the small town and their evenings listening to the static on channel seven. Except on Fridays.
