The Employee Protocol: A Psychological Horror Novella

By Thom Robbins

Pain is a warning.
What happens when your body decides you don't need one anymore?
When city employee Eli Foster enrolls in a voluntary workplace wellness program, all he wants is relief from an old wrist injury.
Instead, the pain disappears.
Then the fatigue.
Then the hesitation.
As the treatments continue, Eli becomes healthier, faster, and more efficient than anyone around him. His work is flawless. His reflexes border on impossible.
Then he realizes something else is disappearing.
Memories arrive late. Decisions happen before he makes them. His body begins solving problems his mind never knew existed.
Everyone tells him the treatment is working.
They're right.
The program isn't repairing him.
It's deciding which parts of him are no longer necessary.
The Employee Protocol is a psychological horror novella about invisible compliance, corporate control, and the terrifying possibility that the most dangerous systems never force obedience.
They simply make resistance unnecessary.
Perfect for readers of Severance, Black Mirror, The Circle, and unsettling psychological horror where the most dangerous systems never need your permission.
By the time you realize what you've lost, you'll no longer want it back.
