On the Clock, After Dark

Thirteen Stories of Night-Shift Horror

Every workplace has rules. The night shift has different ones.

3:17 A.M.

The lights stay on after everyone else has gone home.

At a gas station, a clerk is warned not to help the bleeding man at pump two.

In an ICU, a call light flashes over a bed that should be empty.

Beneath the ocean, a research crew learns why the moon pool is never opened alone.

Across thirteen workplaces, each worker inherits a job, a warning, and a choice between doing what feels human and surviving until morning.

On the Clock, After Dark is an interconnected collection about isolation, grief, duty, and the things that wait for the late shift.

Clock in carefully. The shift ends at dawn. The work does not.
