The Courier Files
Fictional Delivery Adventures with Ren Phautos
Some deliveries are ordinary. These aren’t. Meet Ren Phautos, a courier whose daily routes through Los Angeles take unexpected turns into mystery, suspense, and the unknown.
Each short story in The Courier Files is a self-contained case — part thriller, part street-level adventure — inspired by the unpredictable nature of life on the road. They’re pure fiction… but every one begins the same way: a job, a ticking clock, and a package that must reach its destination.
