Retail is hell. Literally.
Lex Monroe has survived construction sites, back-breaking labor, and raising two kids on her own-but nothing prepared her for the soul-sucking nightmare of working the graveyard shift at Hell-Mart.
She's overworked, underpaid, and one corporate spreadsheet away from snapping. After years of holding the store together, Lex finally gets the promotion she deserves... but only after the current manager, Todd, dies in a hilariously freak accident involving a loading dock, a cursed garden gnome, and a tantrum.
Now Lex is the new boss of the damned-and things are getting weird.
Fluorescent lights flicker with ancient evil. The intercom whispers in Latin. Aisle 17 seems to breathe when no one's looking. And her 17-year-old daughter Tess? She just started seeing ghosts-including Todd, who's just as annoying dead as he was alive.
Turns out, Hell-Mart isn't just built on ancient burial grounds-it might be the gateway to something much, much worse.
Between haunted breakrooms, cursed merchandise, and an undead support group that won't shut up, Lex and Tess are in for the shift of a lifetime.
Clock in, gear up, and whatever you do... don't go near the clearance section.

Who Let The Ghosts Out?
ONC 2021 contest prompt 64 What should have been a simple task for a trio of ghosthunters becomes something for which the term "Worst Case Scenario" is the mother of all understatements.

The Ghost Book
An expert forensic team are called to the base to investigate a digital security breach, leading to the 141 team hosting one of the investigators. Their temporary guest, a rather odd young woman, seems to have an extreme and rather troubling reaction to Ghost's presence. But when clues to her strange behaviour are uncovered, Ghost's anger and suspicious nature gets the best of him and his quest for answers, forces him to face the darkest parts of himself. So this is a wee bit different. This story formed part of a longer work in progress. However, as that story grew, it was clear that this arc, added an unnecessarily complicated aspect to my main protagonist. Rather than let the longer story get too messy, I decided to make this a short story on it's own. The character is similar but I did end up changing her name and back story.Complete

Haunted
The dead typically want one of two things. Ghosts crave conversation. Spirits seek pain. My name is Bria, and I've been able to interact with the dead for as long as I can remember. Communicating with the deceased might sound like a cool gift, but let me assure you, it's not. Ghosts don't shut up, and not all specters are friendly. In fact, most of them are dangerous. Pretending the paranormal doesn't exist is far easier than talking to the shadows, so I've been avoiding the dead for years. Past experiences have led me to avoid the living too. And for a long time, I've successfully kept my distance. Until a single ghost encounter in the library ruins everything. Now a couple of my classmates know my secret. But as it turns out, they have a deadly secret of their own. Time to talk to the shadows again. _______________ This story contains profanity and violence. [ONC 2021 Shortlister]Complete
