Late-night deliveries usually mean quiet streets, dim porch lights, and brief doorstep exchanges. But in this fictional horror story, one routine shift turns into something deeply unsettling.
The narrator, a delivery driver accustomed to remote addresses and last-minute orders, receives a request that feels slightly off — incomplete directions, no contact number, and strict instructions to “leave the package at the back door.” When they arrive, the house appears partially abandoned. Lights flicker inside, yet no one answers.
As they walk around the property, strange sounds echo from the dark yard. The order status updates to “DO NOT LEAVE.” The app glitches. A second delivery notification appears for the same address — but under a different name.
What begins as confusion escalates into fear as it becomes clear someone — or something — is watching.
