 "The Late Shift" is a horror story about Shayleen, an 18-year-old who, after being kicked out of her home, takes a job at Burger Barn. Working the night shift provides her with stability and basic necessities while she lives out of her car and finishes high school. The narrative follows her experience working alone on the closing shift and hints at a mysterious, dangerous presence that has affected previous night shift workers. Five years later, Shayleen works as a hospital custodian but remains haunted by her experiences at Burger Barn, which authorities dismissed as a stress-induced breakdown. The story explores themes of vulnerability, survival, and the unsettling question of what really happens during those isolated late-night hours.
