📚 WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT

A factory worker faces a vengeful ex-colleague during his first night on the job.

Trey loses his mining job and accepts a position at a local factory. He works the graveyard shift, which brings him into contact with dangerous elements. A recently fired employee arrives with plans for revenge. The narrative tension builds as Trey attempts to stay alive until the day workers arrive. The story does not offer easy escapes or safe havens within the factory walls. Winchester uses this premise to explore the vulnerability of workers in isolated environments. The text relies on immediate danger rather than complex lore. It is a straightforward account of survival against a personal vendetta.
