Every night shift has its routine.
Every receipt has a total.
But what if a cash register printed
names instead of prices?
Arjun Malhotra is employed on the graveyard shift at a 24-hour convenience store. He dismisses the strange system message—NIGHT_AUDIT.EXE—that appears on receipts as a software glitch. Until the names printed on those receipts start dying.
Customers. They are friends, familiar faces.
Each completed sale feels less like a transaction and more like a
contract. A contract written in ink, fate, and blood.
As the line between coincidence and curse dissolves, Arjun realizes the register doesn’t predict death—it
demands consent. Once your name appears, it signifies that the night has already made its choice.
Dark, claustrophobic, and relentlessly tense,
After the Last Sale is a modern psychological horror about guilt, free will, and the terrifying cost of routine choices.
Perfect for readers who love:
- Night shift horror
- Psychological and supernatural thrillers
- Short, intense horror fiction
- Stories where technology turns malevolent
Once the register rings…
There is no refund.
