Human Resources
by James W Pickett
After being laid off from Horizon Group, Dorian Mercer arrives for what should be a routine exit interview. Instead, a malfunctioning elevator carries him far below the building—to a floor that doesn’t exist on any company directory.
Waiting beneath the headquarters is a sterile white labyrinth, locked doors, and a silent interview room where every movement is monitored. As the questions become more invasive, Dorian begins to realize his termination was never just administrative. Horizon isn’t simply processing his departure.
It’s auditing what he knows.
A chilling psychological thriller about surveillance, corporate control, and the cost of becoming a resource inside the machine.
