The Psi-Chotic Adventures of Drew Darby
He just wanted a part-time job. He accidentally passed a psychic military recruitment test.
Drew Darby is an average high school kid with average problems—awkward, overlooked, and now stuck working at Happyland fast food thanks to his parents.
But during his first day of orientation, something in the training room doesn’t feel right. The motivational posters. The video. The silence.
Then the message appears.
GET OUT. YOU ARE IN DANGER.
What starts as a strange warning quickly unravels into something impossible: Mr. Harkins isn’t just a friendly manager with a military past… he’s recruiting for the U.S. Army Psychic Operations Division.
And Drew didn’t just stumble into it.
He passed the test.
