Midnight On The Glacier Coast (MURDER DRONES HALLOWEEN SHORT STORY)

A Halloween night on the icy wastes of Copper 9 becomes the stage for a grand, terrifying performance. Aspiring author Lyn, dressed as Ghostface, has spent months perfecting an elaborate, hyper-realistic horror prank for his friends, complete with fake blood, decoys, and a detailed script. But when the music is pumping and the bunker is buzzing with costumed drones and humans, the arrival of Ghostface is strangely delayed. As the evening wears on and a chilling phone call breaks the festive atmosphere, the line between Lyn's masterful, high-stakes fiction and a genuine threat begins to blur, forcing the survivors of Corvus University and the Murder Drones to confront a very real fear of the dark.
