AFTERMatter by N. H. Sorensen

AFTERMatter is an archive machine.

A corrupted log assembled from deformed autopsy reports, police transcripts, corporate files, and broken human testimony.

At the center of the contamination is Doctor Freak — a media-born surgical nightmare tied to cranial mutilations, missing bodies, impossible injuries, and victims who return wrong.

Something not of this world is trying to contain itself.

A series of incidents begins to align: industrial failures, bureaucratic loops, defective witnesses, broken cameras, dead systems that continue to operate, and institutions that process catastrophe until catastrophe becomes procedure.

Bodies fail. Cameras wake up. Paperwork breeds. Meaning begins to rot.

Open the file.

Let it do what it does.
