    Virus Extermination Logs is a claustrophobic sci‑fi horror about survival disguised as a night shift. When Alex wakes up locked inside a 24/7 convenience store in the year 2047, he's told he has one job: act normal, serve customers... and exterminate the ones who aren't human. The viruses look almost right. They talk almost right. And every shift, they learn. Armed with a single vial of a substance called The Purge, Alex must spot microscopic flaws-an unnatural walk, a wrong shadow, a smile held too long-before the thing across the counter realizes he knows. Because hesitation doesn't just get him killed. It starts the hunt. As the disguises become perfect and even children are used as bait, Alex begins to wonder whether the store is a prison, a testing ground... or something far worse. And when a delivery arrives with a key meant only for him, one question becomes impossible to ignore: Is Alex exterminating the virus- or is he being trained to become part of it?

Anyways, as we grew up, we found ourselves in more and more crazy stories like that one. It was a curse we had. If you found us together, you'd better run away.
