🌒Where Time Can't Exist: A Multi-Generational Time Saga

Welcome to Burrington

Burrington is a town that exists outside of time.

It doesn’t appear on maps, and it doesn’t move forward the way other places do. Its history is fragmented, its memories unreliable, and its story has never been meant to unfold in a straight line.

This post is part of a public archive introducing the world of Where Time Can’t Exist, a supernatural fiction series built around Burrington and the people who cross its boundaries. The archive exists to give readers context, not conclusions. Nothing here spoils the story. Instead, it offers a way to understand the town before stepping fully inside it.

This archive is shared freely.
The stories themselves are not diminished by being understood.

If this is your first time here, you’re welcome to explore at your own pace.
If you’re already familiar with Burrington, you may recognize a few familiar shapes.

Either way, this is the beginning of the record.

What if the past never stopped happening?

 What if sorrow echoed so loudly it rewrote the rules of time?
And what if you, a stranger to that sorrow, found yourself responsible for it?

Welcome to Where Time Can’t Exist; a sweeping, emotionally-charged historical fiction saga threaded with supernatural mystery, poetic memory, and the unsettling ache of lives interrupted.

Spanning centuries, trauma, identity, and the supernatural, this series explores the haunting aftershocks of a forgotten massacre, the fragile humanity beneath myth, and the price of remembering what the world demands we forget.

Part I: The Series at a Glance

Where Time Can’t Exist is not just a novel series, it’s a literary experience designed to bend time around the reader. It consists of:

• Four core novels, each over 400 pages
  
  

• One origin novel of 300+ pages set before the curse
  
  

• A collection of short stories expanding the world
  
  

Supplemental behind-the-scenes content, including lore, character notes, alternate drafts, and thematic commentary for readers who want to go deeper without unraveling the mystery.

Part II: Book One: Until Time Remembers

“Some places remember pain. Burrington? It relives it.”

The story begins in the silence between seconds. A young woman, lost and burned out from years of chasing a purpose she can’t name, checks into a decaying motel off a forgotten highway.

What follows is not a haunting, it’s a surrender. She is pulled into the cursed remains of Burrington, a town that once thrived in the early 1800s but vanished in a single day. Now, frozen in a loop of mourning and violence, the townspeople are trapped in memories too strong to fade. But the woman doesn’t just witness the past, she begins to relive it. And worse… they begin to recognize her.

Is she their salvation? Their punishment? Or simply the next soul the town refuses to let go? Through shifting timelines, eerie encounters, and gut-wrenching revelations, Until Time Remembers asks:
What stories do we carry that were never ours to begin with?
And how far will we go to find truth when it means unmaking everything we thought was real?

Memory, Trauma, and Repetition

At the core of Where Time Can’t Exist is the idea that history doesn’t always stay buried. When grief is silenced or injustice ignored, it echoes not just in individuals, but across generations and landscapes. These books explore how trauma can become encoded in a place, and how time can become corrupted by pain.

The Forgotten and the Innocent

Children play a central, devastating role in the story-not as props, but as the heart of what’s been lost. One particular child, both spectral and grounded, serves as a guide between the living and the dead, asking the reader to confront what society often overlooks: the cost of forgetting those who had no voice.

Ancestry, Identity, and Stolen Lives

Much of the series reflects on the erasure of Indigenous lives and histories. While the books do not follow real-world tribes directly, they present a fictional culture inspired by stories of cultural displacement, child abductions, and spiritual disconnection. The curse that plagues Burrington is as much about who was taken as it is about who was left behind.

Storytelling as Salvation… or Exploitation

As the story moves into later books, the series confronts the ways in which storytelling can both heal and harm. What happens when someone turns another’s pain into entertainment? Is remembrance enough or does it become its own form of possession?

Part III: Beyond Until Time Remembers

The Story Continues

Burrington’s story does not end with Until Time Remembers.

The events of the first novel fracture something larger, something that continues to unfold across multiple timelines, perspectives, and consequences. The Where Time Can’t Exist series is built to move outward rather than forward, allowing different stories to reveal different sides of the same town.

What follows are spoiler-free insights into where the series goes next.

Part IV: Book Two: The Day That Broke Time

The Day That Broke Time

Until Time Remembers is about discovering Burrington,
The Day That Broke Time is about what happens after Burrington refuses to stay contained.

The second novel shifts the scope of the series. The town is no longer just a place to be escaped, it becomes a presence that leaves echoes behind. Time behaves differently. Memory becomes unstable. The consequences of telling Burrington’s story begin to surface in unexpected ways.

This book explores:

• The cost of survival after a supernatural event
  
  

• How stories can disturb what they attempt to preserve
  
  

• What happens when the past begins to reach outward instead of inward
  
  

While The Day That Broke Time builds directly from the first novel, it is designed to feel different in tone-broader, heavier, and more fractured.

Release: July 27th, 2026. This summer

Part V: Stories From Burrington

Not every story connected to Burrington fits inside the main novels.

Some moments are too small.
Some perspectives arrive too early or too late.
 

Some stories exist only to show how deeply the town reaches.

Alongside the main series, Where Time Can’t Exist includes standalone short stories and collections that explore:

• Families who lived in Burrington before the town changed
  
  

• Events referenced only briefly in the novels
  
  

• Characters whose lives intersected with Burrington and moved on, carrying pieces of it with them
  
  

These stories are not required reading, but they expand the emotional and historical weight of the series.

They are meant to feel like recovered documents; personal, unsettling, and incomplete.

Additional short fiction connected to Burrington will be released alongside and after The Day That Broke Time.

Part VIII: What Makes This Series Unique?

Character-Driven Supernatural Fiction

This isn’t about jump scares or twisty plot mechanics. The supernatural elements come second to the emotional journeys of the characters. Every ghost, loop, and curse has a human face behind it.

 Layered Narrative Design

Each book builds on the last, sometimes literally revisiting scenes from new angles, with a deeper understanding. The emotional payoff is designed to reward readers who pay attention.

 Bittersweet, Lyrical Tone

There is beauty in the darkness of this story. Even the ghosts have poetry. The writing style is immersive, visual, and emotional, often described as “hauntingly intimate.”

 Moral and Ethical Tensions

What is justice when the past is unreachable? What is forgiveness when history is silenced? This series doesn’t offer easy answers, it forces the reader to sit in discomfort and search for meaning.

Part IX: For New Readers

If you're reading this as a potential supporter, here's what you can expect from the reading experience, without spoiling a single twist:

• You will feel haunted, not by monsters, but by grief.
  
  

• You will grow attached to characters you didn’t expect to care about.
  
  

• You’ll find that time isn’t just a setting here, it’s a character.
  
  

• You will be asked to remember things the world has forgotten.
  
  

• You will finish each book with more questions… and a desire to go back and read it all again.
