Episodes 4-6 of the Debt Collector serial. A chilling premise about a future world where, when your debts exceed your future potential earnings, a debt collector is called in to collect your life energy and transfer it to someone who can put it to better use. Lirium is the debt collector, and this story is about his struggle with who he is and the world he lives in - finding a way out of the near - madness of being someone who is the personification of the Grim Reaper.

Lirium plays the part of the grim reaper well, with his dark trenchcoat, jackboots, and the black marks on his soul that every debt collector carries. He's just in it for his cut, the ten percent of the life energy he collects before he transfers it on to the high potentials, the people who will make the world a better place with their brains, their work, and their lives. That hit of life energy, a bottle of vodka, and a visit from one of Madam Anastazja's sex workers keep him alive, stable, and mostly sane...until he collects again.
