The Exchange: Another Life

By Ashlee Mack

In a dystopian future, the resurrection of one life demands the sacrifice of another.
After a mass murderer slaughters nine people, the government offers the victims' families an unthinkable choice: bring one of their loved ones back from the dead by taking the killer's life force. Only one victim can return.

Trapped together in a single room with limited time, nine grieving family members must decide who is most deserving of a second chance. What begins as shared sorrow quickly fractures as buried secrets surface, constructed narratives collapse, and each person is forced to confront uncomfortable truths about the dead-and about themselves.

As alliances form, tempers flare, and moral certainty dissolves, the families must vote on who gets to live again. But in a system that claims to deliver justice, the real question becomes: who deserves to be saved, and what are they willing to sacrifice to make it happen?

A haunting exploration of grief, guilt, and the price of second chances.
