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.

Creepy, clever, and surprisingly emotional.
The Thing in My Locker starts like a simple sci-fi short story — a man orders a strange DIY kit online — but quickly turns into something much deeper and darker. It’s part horror, part philosophy, part warning about our obsession with technology and control.
The writing is sharp and fast-paced, yet there’s real heart behind it. You can feel the frustration, the curiosity, and the slow horror as the “project” begins to think for itself. By the end, you’re not sure whether to feel afraid or impressed — or both.
If you like Black Mirror or Annihilation, you’ll enjoy this. It’s short, strange, and leaves you thinking long after you’ve closed the last page.
