I Work For The Alien Civilization As An Interpreter. We Are Being Turned Into Substrate | Sci-Fi

from Galactic Horrors

📖 Written by Galactic HorrorsGabriel Acosta earns his living as an interpreter in an occupied city, seated between frightened families and the alien officials who decide whether they keep their homes. Inside the Hall of Accord—a former municipal palace overgrown with living resin—routine residency reviews, sealed apartment doors, and the vast spire looming over the barrios begin to form a pattern he can no longer translate away. Each disappearance leaves behind untouched kitchens, branching membranes, and missing words in Gabriel’s own mind, while public “opportunity” lotteries turn neighbors into batch numbers and silence. As his brother starts pulling at the same mystery from the industrial edge of the city, Gabriel is forced to choose between bureaucratic survival, family loyalty, and the truth hidden inside the occupation’s language. This is slow-burn sci-fi horror steeped in administrative dread, memory erosion, and the intimate terror of becoming useful to the machine that is consuming your world.⚠️ Content Ownership NoticeAll stories, artwork, thumbnails, and animations featured on this channel are original creations of Galactic Horrors.
