The Last Contestant

By Roger Tee Taylor Sr

Thirteen people volunteer for a research study no one will admit exists.

Only one is meant to walk away.

Marcus Hale didn't enter to be brave. He entered because he was disposable.

No family. No safety net. No one to ask questions if he disappeared.

What begins as a promised endurance experiment becomes something far worse-a system designed to measure how much guilt a person can survive. Contestants aren't eliminated for being weak. They're eliminated for trying to help, for trusting the wrong voice, for believing survival is the same thing as innocence.

As the rules shift and the truth surfaces, Marcus realizes the real prize was never money. It was complicity.

The Last Contestant is a psychological thriller about moral collapse, manufactured consent, and the terrifying cost of choosing to save others in a system that profits from silence.

Survival is possible.

Redemption is not guaranteed.
