The Package Protocol
Dr. Elena Vasquez knows how to break a human mind. As a neuroscientist at a classified military research facility, she's spent months perfecting techniques to manipulate perception, to make people see threats that don't exist—or fail to see the dangers right in front of them.
But today, something is wrong in the facility's endless corridors.
The security guard at Checkpoint 7 has vanished. In his place sits a brown paper package, wrapped and bound with twine. Then another package appears. And another. Each one marking a space where someone used to be.
As the facility empties around her, Elena realizes she may be witnessing the success of an experiment she never designed—or the unraveling of reality itself. The packages are multiplying. Her colleagues are disappearing. And the only question left is whether she's experiencing a breakthrough in psychological warfare, a supernatural phenomenon beyond comprehension, or her own descent into madness.
In the tradition of most unsettling short fiction, "The Package Protocol" explores the razor's edge between genius and insanity, between the explainable and the impossible. Some transformations can't be stopped. Some choices are illusions. And some packages should never be opened.
Perfect for fans of cosmic horror, psychological thrillers, and stories that linger long after the final page.
