No one remembers the last time the sky held color. They say Merribell has always been gray. That color is a myth, a child's story, a dream you forget when you wake.
When young Elio dares to paint the sky, something ancient stirs-and the world begins to fracture.
Shadows stretch where they shouldn't. Reflections whisper. Children vanish and return... different. In a village sealed in silence and soot, three figures become entwined: a boy who broke the sky, a girl who sees what isn't there, and a man who may be both mentor and monster. As reality begins to slip, their fates spiral. And in the distance, along a road some claim was never there, a man waits-smiling, watching, remembering too much.
The Copley Road is a meditation on grief, memory, magic, and creation, wrapped in the uncanny hush of a dream half-recalled. It is a story not just about color returning, but what must be lost when it does.
Step carefully. Some paths lead home. Others never end.
