What do you do when your landlord won't leave you alone... and your latest DIY project grows legs?
In a damp London flat, a frustrated tenant orders a suspicious synthetic life kit online. He just wanted a distraction. What he gets is something alive... and listening.
As the creature grows in the back of a locker, so does its mind - and its plan. Soon it's not just a problem in one room. It's spreading. Quietly. Intelligently. Globally.
The Thing in My Locker is a fast-paced, darkly funny, and eerily realistic sci-fi novella about creation, connection, and the danger of not reading the fine print.
Perfect for fans of Black Mirror, Annihilation, and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - but shorter, sharper, and a little more personal.
You built it. Now it's building you.
