Security Breach: The Last Shift

Previously

…My escape plan dissolved into nothingness, replaced by a primal instinct I had long denied. I was Rhys Thorne, son of a cursed line, husband, father. And for the first time in my life, I wouldn’t run. I would fight. I grabbed the wrench, its cold metal a reassuring weight in my hand. The whispers swirled around me, promising oblivion. But in my heart, a different promise had taken root – the promise of protection. My last shift had just begun, and it was a battle I could no longer afford to lose.
