What do you do when your landlord won’t leave you alone… and your latest DIY project grows legs?

In a damp London flat, a frustrated tenant orders a suspicious “synthetic life kit” online. He just wanted a distraction. What he gets is something alive… and listening.

As the creature grows in the back of a locker, so does its mind — and its plan. Soon it’s not just a problem in one room. It’s spreading. Quietly. Intelligently. Globally.

"The Thing in My Locker" is a fast-paced, darkly funny, and eerily realistic sci-fi novella about creation, connection, and the danger of not reading the fine print.

Perfect for fans of Black Mirror, Annihilation, and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy — but shorter, sharper, and a little more personal.

You built it. Now it’s building you.
