THEY TOOK US
A YA Horror Short Story
When 22-year-old Rachel opens the memo about mandatory blood tests at Hollinger & Sons, she rolls her eyes-just another corporate power trip. Until coworkers start disappearing. Not just quitting... vanishing. Their desks emptied, their names wiped from the system.
The HR department's new nurses smile too wide. The conference room reeks of antiseptic and copper. And that warning scratched into the wall? THEY'LL MAKE YOU FORGET.
Now Rachel's trapped in a workplace nightmare and turns out Hollinger's real business isn't spreadsheets-it's replacement.
Perfect for fans of:
The corporate dread of Severance
The body horror of The Twilight Zone

Content warnings: Body horror, psychological terror, workplace dystopia
