(10 teaser images) Calf & Column — After Hours in the Stockroom

At 7:30, Calf & Column is almost closed. The display lights are still warm, the sock wall has been counted, and one last stock task remains.

Daniel leads his new employee into the narrow stockroom aisle. Jason appears uncertain, but his attention keeps returning to the second bay—and to a thin black file hidden behind the navy socks. Is this really his first day, or did he come here looking for something?

Neither man notices the security camera above the shelves. In a dark CCTV room, someone is watching every movement and writing down the exact time. The question is not whether Jason has been seen.

It is why the man behind the screen wants him to continue.
