Evan Marrow faces a terrifying consequence for a minor banking mistake. The entity tracking him does not want money. It wants his time, his past, and his relationships. As transactions appear in empty rooms, Evan sees his life unraveling. He learns the system feeds on resistance, making his efforts to fight back only increase the cost. The horror lies in the gradual loss of identity and connection. Petchinsky uses this premise to explore how modern anxieties about debt can manifest as literal monsters.
