LIFE"S WORK - Contemporary Gothic Horror - Claymore Award finalist
Gary doesn’t want to get stuck in the factory his family has worked at for generations. He just needs to make enough cash to go back to college.
When his mother gets cancer, Gary is forced to stay at the plant to help with family finances. The die-cast factory is inherently dangerous, filled with molten metal and clanging machines. After witnessing several accidents, Gary notices a pattern. People who talk about quitting get maimed or killed. Escaping the job is more than an economic decision when he begins to believe the factory is feeding off its workers.
What he needs to find out is if he’s just projecting his unhappiness at being in a mindless job, or if something is actually stalking the people who work at the factory.
