When Elias Vale inherits his mother's medical debt, he is offered a way out.
The program is called Night Mode. It promises faster repayment, cleaner sleep, and a future that still belongs to him. All he has to give up are the hours he will not remember.
At first, the debt begins to fall. Then Elias wakes with gaps in his memory, strange marks beneath his skin, and the feeling that something inside him has learned how to move without asking.
In a city where corporations own survival itself, Elias must discover what was really purchased in his name before the last private part of him is gone.
Dark, intimate, and unsettling, The Debtless is a cyberpunk body horror novella about debt, identity, and the terrible cost of being saved.
