Expendable Goods

In the rain-slicked alleys of Meridian City, Elias Voss is a phantom—a government-trained cleaner haunted by the lives he has erased. Forced into one final contract, he must silence a whistleblower preparing to expose a private prison corporation’s systemic torture. But when he finds a mute orphan hiding at the target’s home, Elias sees the same hollowed eyes he once wore. Chased by the very machine that built him, he discovers that in the gears of profit and power, even the most righteous sacrifices are catalogued as mere operational losses. A harrowing tale of conscience and atonement, set against the moral emptiness of the incarceration industry.
