A corporate holiday horror with candy canes, cough drops, and a lot of mayhem.

Beneath old advent calendars, a forgotten notebook surfaces, uncovering something more sinister than glitter glue and stale chocolate. These are the last logs of a gnome project manager—an ambitious little fellow tasked with overseeing the ultimate Christmas advent calendar.

At first, everything appears merry and bright. Angel, Beard, Deer, and Christmas gnome teams are busy creating dolls and boxes. But Team Christmas has a reputation. One that involves candy cane structures, mutinies, and a fondness for burning gingerbread.

As mysterious illnesses spread, surveillance cameras fail, and the calendar's contents get stranger by the day, one question rises above the carols and chaos:

Where are the gnomes?

A darkly whimsical holiday short story for fans of workplace satire, seasonal weirdness, and tales where elves aren't the only ones to fear.
