In "The Envelope," a lone traveler finds himself entangled in a chilling mystery when a single sheet of paper—sealed within an unmarked envelope—unleashes an unsettling fury in everyone who reads it.

A recently cured patient boards a ship for recuperation, but an unsettling coffin in the cargo hold begins to obsess him in ways he can't explain—pulling him from his bed night after night in a compulsive search he desperately wants to stop. As the mysterious coffin works on his fractured mind, Paul finds himself sleepwalking deeper into the ship's depths, driven by an irresistible need to find something he can't name. His recovery becomes a race against his own unraveling sanity in this genuinely creepy tale of psychological terror.
