2,000 Feet Underground, A Classified Facility Went Dark. Something Is Climbing Up

Nineteen hours after a buried containment facility goes silent, Investigator Callahan descends into a vault where every door is open and the surviving guards insist containment is still holding.The four men left alive move by inches, testing each step with chicken feathers taped to wooden rods. Invisible planes cut through steel and flesh without sound. The only thing keeping the lower levels sealed is a forbidden bargain with a nonhuman holding, paid for in iron stripped from the facility itself.Callahan was sent to determine who broke doctrine and authorize the punishment. His weapon can tell guilt from innocence, but not whether a guilty man was wrong. As the iron runs out and the breach begins to reveal a deeper purpose, procedure stops being protection and starts becoming another threat.To keep Cardwell contained, Callahan must decide which rules are worth obeying, which truths can survive a report, and how much guilt a man can carry when doing the right thing is itself a violation.🔗 Official Links:The only place to get daily and bonus Galactic Horrors stories with no ads or interruptions is Patreon:📡 Join Patreon: https://patreon.com/GalacticHorrorsGalactic Horrors stories are also available as eBooks on Amazon, with new releases every week:📚 eBooks: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0H2F5M2B3/allbooks📖 Written by Galactic Horrors⚠️ Content Ownership NoticeAll stories, artwork, thumbnails, and animations featured on this channel are original creations of Galactic Horrors.
