File 001: The Weight of Silence
1989. One videotape. One confession that should have stayed buried.
When Thomas Whitlock receives an unmarked VHS tape, the past he thought he had escaped begins pressing its way back into the present.
What starts as an unsettling recording slowly reveals something far more personal—a trail of obsession, guilt, and revenge tied to a tragedy Thomas has spent years refusing to confront.
As the tape plays on, the silence surrounding what happened begins to fracture, and the truth waiting beneath it proves far more dangerous than memory.
File 001: The Weight of Silence is a psychological horror story about the things we bury, the people who refuse to forget, and the terrible cost of believing silence can keep the past dead.
