CLEAN UP ON AISLE 12

People are disappearing over by the frozen food dept.

The doors are locked. The phones are dead. Head office already knows.

During an overnight shift in a failing supermarket, a skeleton night crew discovers that customers have been disappearing in Frozen Foods for years — and management has quietly filed every death under shrinkage.
