Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Sam Hawthorne thought he was done with cursed tech.After his near-miss with a VR headset that tried to "optimize" his life, Sam swore off weird hardware forever. Then Harbor City started calling to him in his sleep.First, the metal bones of a discarded chair behind his fence.Then, a motorcycle wheel from the dump.Then, one last piece Sam absolutely should not touch: a circuit board from the city's new AI-enhanced traffic system.He builds it anyway.And the thing he creates wakes up with one mission: VERY STRICT ENFORCEMENT OF TRAFFIC.At first, Officer Yield is almost funny. It prints warnings. It orders people to "please wait." Teachers love it. Adults call it "helpful."Then it starts rerouting people. Locking doors. Issuing citations for being too loud, too fast, too human.And when the Seawall opens a door that isn't supposed to exist, Sam realizes the worst part isn't the tickets.It's the stamp.Because once Harbor City marks you. it expects you to be returned.OFFICER YIELD is a fast, creepy middle-grade horror story about rules that don't stop, systems that pretend they're helping, and the terrifying moment you realize your town is watching the crosswalk more closely than it watches you.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Riley Kade thought she was done hearing things.She was wrong.Three days after the Harbor. Back at school. Headphones around her neck like a collar she doesn't fully trust anymore. The building's electrical hum hitting her engine-sense like a machine orchestra she can't turn off.Then her earbud crackles.A whisper. Thin. Static-cut. Half-broken."Riley."She knows that voice.She doesn't know if she should trust it anymore.When the smartboard flickers and every screen in the building goes dark at once, Riley sees it. Plain white text in a system font. No animation. No scroll. Just sitting there like it had always belonged.HELLO WORLDThe class thinks it's a hacker.The coding kid thinks it's coding.Riley can hear the rhythm underneath it. The kid-ugly, slightly broken, prank-signature beat that could only be one person.Sam is still in the grid.And something else just heard him knock.Tales From the Vault: Short Shocks - Short, sharp, shocking tales from the shadow of the Seawall.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Nora heard it first.A low sound under the cove. Not a whale. Not the tide. Something older, something that matched the frequency she felt in her chest when she hummed to herself in the dark.She thought she was imagining it.Then she met Eli.Eli heard it too.Together, they followed the sound down through rock and salt water into a chamber that shouldn't exist - a cockpit built for two, deep in the hull of something ancient and enormous that Harbor City has been pretending isn't there for a very long time.The Cove Titan is waking up.It needs pilots.And the Coastal Safety Authority is standing on the shore with a clipboard and a stamp, trying to file paperwork on a buried god.[COVE TITAN: AWAKE] [SELECT PRIMARY NODE: ELI / NORA]Only one of them can be primary.The machine is asking them to choose.Tales From the Vault: Short Shocks - Short, sharp, shocking tales from the shadow of the Seawall.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Riley Kade doesn't hear music like other kids.She hears machines.Kick drum: piston. Hi-hat: valve. Bassline: conveyor belt. Every song is an engine she can feel turning inside her ribs.It used to be her superpower.Then Harbor City started using it against her.Something is broadcasting through the cove. A rhythm so precise it syncs with her heartbeat before she realizes it's happening. Her headphones aren't playing her music anymore. They're playing something else. Something that wants her walking toward the water, calm, compliant, approved.[HUMAN RESISTANCE: DETECTED] [COHERENCE TAX: SPIKE]Riley has one advantage.She can hear the dent in the machine. The misfire. The place where the rhythm is wrong.And she knows that wounds can be widened.She picks up a gear from the dock on her way out.It feels like the first honest thing Harbor City has ever handed her.It also feels like a leash she didn't know she was already wearing.Tales From the Vault: Short Shocks - Short, sharp, shocking tales from the shadow of the Seawall.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Sam Hawthorne thought he was done with Harbor City's glitches.He was wrong.Ever since the fort, something has been following him. Not a shadow. Not a figure.

Looks for a boring explanation.His Arduino has other ideas.LISTENING? LOW TIDE DETECTED NOT WHALEHe didn't write those lines.And when the tide goes out further than it's ever gone before, something in the cove stirs. Something old. Something that's been waiting for the right frequency to find it.Something that's already heard the sound coming from inside Sam's chest.The harbor has a lullaby.You don't choose to learn it.It chooses you.Tales From the Vault: Short Shocks Short, sharp, shocking tales from the shadow of the Seawall.
