The Contagion
The town has begun making two lists: those who remember, and everyone else. The register was meant to preserve stories. It created a border. In Belvaux-sur-Rive, impossible absences enter families, conversations, and middle-school hallways. On a posted sheet of paper, Lucie’s name—Nora’s daughter—appears on the wrong side.
