David Martin used to have a job he liked as a security guard. Godhand International used to treat him well. His wife used to care about him. The fallout from one snap decision keeps punching him in the face. When his only option to pay rent sounds dodgy as hell, he takes his first step down a path sure to either kill him or make him stronger. That first step is a doozy. This novella is part of the DARKSIDE SEATTLE collection of cyberpunk stories.
