I Guard a Remote Fuel Depot. Something Is Using My Patrols to Get Closer.

Every night, I walked the same patrol route. Something at the depot was learning where I stopped looking. I thought the first signs were ordinary: a chain off its hook, scratches under the loading canopy, a muddy mark beneath the office window. Then I saw a hand lift the chain. By the time I locked myself inside the security booth, whatever was outside already knew the sounds of my rounds. My return to the desk. My radio check. The places I said I'd inspected but hadn't. Then it tried the door handle. The Patrol Pattern is an original, long-form horror story about a lone security guard, a remote industrial yard, and a creature that uses a familiar routine to get closer.
