The Additional Mailbox Scary story

Setting: A confined, technical space (a research institute, a laboratory block, corridors with sensors). The horror is born not in a forest or a haunted house, but in a place where everything is supposed to obey logic and protocol. The Hook: A break in routine. A duty engineer sees an anomaly on a peripheral monitor. It's not a dramatic event, but a small, almost dismissible glitch ("the image flickered"). The initial reaction is a rational explanation ("a power glitch"). This is a classic technique: the horror begins with something that can be explained away. The Anomaly: The image returns, but it is incorrect. Something has appeared in the corridor that wasn't there before. The story cuts off at the most tense moment—the engineer is about to describe the nature of this change. Based on the style, we can expect it to be something illogical yet mundane, for example: An extra, unnecessary pipe on the wall. A door that shouldn't be there, slightly ajar. A stain on the floor with a perfectly geometric shape. A shadow that doesn't correspond to any object, cast by an invisible light source. The Atmosphere of the Debriefing: The tone of the supervisor ("just the facts") and the tired, pressured tone of the engineer create a claustrophobic atmosphere. The horror is amplified by the formal setting of the meeting, where an inexplicable event must be squeezed into the framework of a report. Anticipated Development: The story would likely unfold as the engineer describes his subsequent investigation. Following protocol, he would probably go to check the corridor. There, he would discover that reality does not match the monitor, or vice versa. The anomaly would be "contagious," spreading through the institute's systems: new, impossible readings on sensors, additional pages in logs, extra lockers in the staff room that no one remembers installing. The institute itself would begin to "optimize" or "correct" itself according to some insane, internal logic. In essence: This is a story about system failure. The horror lies in a perfectly calibrated technological environment beginning to malfunction not technically, but ontologically. The rules of physics and space themselves break down, reported in the dry language of duty logs and technical debriefings. The true fear comes from the realization that the system meant to protect and control has become an agent of silent, procedural absurdity.
