Amendment
An amendment no one remembers passing.
An investigator who refuses to accept it.
In 2030, congressional investigator Megan Callahan follows evidence of a fabricated constitutional amendment into a world where official records can be rewritten and manufactured history can become a weapon.
The story continues on Substack, and readers help decide Megan’s next move. Each winning choice becomes part of one continuing story, with consequences that carry forward.

Live with it
The winning choice shapes the next installment. Decisions have costs, and the story carries those consequences forward.
Voting takes place on Substack. Past polls remain part of the story’s history; they are not open invitations to vote again.
