More About "The Bargain":
Cora is indentured in the service of Hue, the creator and owner of time-exchanging technology. She is alive thanks to Hue's monthly 'payments': on her own, she'd have only a few weeks left. She works as his bodyguard and assistant, extracting or injecting time from his clients. She is horrified by Hue's predatory deals, but complaining means breaching her contract. However, when a single mother of two falls victim to his extortion, Cora's leash finally snaps. She now has to choose between her future or the life of a stranger.
