The Mind Miners

from Midnight Snacks: Stories to Binge After Dark Hosted by Dan McDowell

What if the curiosities buried in your mind weren't just thoughts, but treasures being physically unearthed by an army of tiny workers? In this realm, "mind miners" slip through a hidden panel in your scalp to excavate the subconscious while you sleep—or while you're simply distracted by the mundane. But as the work week ends, the "unspoken agreement" turns deadly. When information overload leads to a mental short circuit, the screams of trapped miners begin to haunt the silence. How far would you go to drown out the noise of your own dying thoughts? And who is mining you right now?
