The Threshold Protocol

In a not-so-distant future, the seemingly impossible becomes a horrifying reality. The Threshold Protocol, a groundbreaking neuroscientific experiment, promises access to a dimension beyond our comprehension - a realm of heightened consciousness and limitless potential. But this tantalizing promise masks a sinister truth. For within the seductive allure of expanded awareness lurks a malevolent entity, a being that feeds on human fear and pain, twisting perceptions and shattering the delicate balance of sanity. Dr. Eleanor Kade, a neuroscientist haunted by the recent death of her daughter, finds herself inexorably drawn into the investigation of the protocol's disturbing side effects - the disappearance of participants, leaving behind only fragments of cryptic messages hinting at a terrifying invasion. As Eleanor delves deeper into the mystery, she discovers a conspiracy of immense proportions, one that reaches into the highest echelons of scientific research and threatens to shatter the very fabric of our world. The line between science and horror blurs as she confronts not only an insidious cosmic threat but the terrifying possibility that the entities are already within us, manipulating our memories, feeding on our grief, and transforming those closest to us into vessels for their horrifying designs. This is a story of loss, of grief, and of the desperate fight for sanity in the face of unfathomable terror. It is a journey into the darkest recesses of the human mind, a descent into the void, where the boundaries of reality are nothing more than a fragile membrane separating us from a nightmare far beyond our comprehension. Be warned: what you are about to read may leave you questioning not only the nature of reality but also the very limits of your own sanity.
