From Amazon bestselling author Peter Seddon, The Warehouse is a short story that beckons you into a haunting near-future. In an AI-ruled warehouse, the last human workers cling to survival, their minds dulled by company-issued drugs and their worth measured in scans per minute. Addiction isn't a vice – it's the leash that keeps them productive. But when one worker dares to crack a joke, the system bites back, revealing the true cost of stepping out of line. Darkly thrilling, richly allegorical, and unnervingly possible, The Warehouse is humanity's final shift – a tale of control, resistance, and the fragile line between man and machine.
