1 part Complete MatureCale Kelly is an Unaliver.
The tricky part of Cale's job is making it look like a suicide, or even better, an accident. Accidents cost extra in his line of work.
Cale's job was different, depending on who you asked. According to the IRS, Cale made a passive income from online music streaming - or so said his Schedule SE Form 1040 - but the music was nothing more than AI generated elevator ambience, and his listenership were mostly chatbots programmed to "like and subscribe."
According to the FBI, Cale would be legally classified as a "contract killer," should he ever get arrested or go to trial for his work. But that term was problematic for a few reasons; first and foremost, "killer" makes for a pretty poor resume keyword, and more importantly, Cale's victims were never technically "killed." That is, if he did his job correctly.
But when Cale suspects that someone important to him has been "unalived," who can he turn to that would believe him? And how can he seek justice without exposing his own crimes?
