Working as a security guard sounds pretty boring, right? But what would you do if your company gave you a very strict set of mysterious rules to follow, which make no sense; like not leaving your guardhouse at a very specific time during your shift, or ignoring the tapping you hear on your window, or hearing your partner calling out to you from the dark, but he's right there with you?Read the tales of the guard who works for an organization simply known as The Company, which specializes in securing areas with reported paranormal, occult and otherwise mysterious occurrences. The collection includes the story of the night guard, a recruit who responded to a job listing and found himself fighting for his life, as well as the story of The Survivor, a hardened intervention security unit member, who has been on countless suicide missions and seen things that no other human could witness and live to talk about.
