Story

The year is 2098. Earth’s human population has reached 15.2 billion. Under pressure of dwindling resources, the government passes the ‘greater good’ act. Under this act, families are paid to voluntarily terminate a loved one. As a government worker, your job is to carry out these terminations. The method of choice: 100mg ‘nexcidium’ injection.
