In Issue #4 of Bleeding Canvas, Penn Worthy delivers a chilling, claustrophobic look at the horror of modern survival and the terrifying price of ＂staying occupied.＂ This about a man living in a box, working a job that is erasing him, and a ＂Company＂ that owns the very air he breathes. This is the New, Modern Dimension of Dystopian Horror.
＂He lives in a box. The Landlord calls it a ’Unit.’ The Ledger calls it an asset.＂
Dane Mercer is a man who has been reduced to a set of recurring tasks and a small, white room. In the ＂Vacancy Economy,＂ existence is a subscription service, and Dane’s account is running low. He often ends up working for an invisible employer, fulfilling ＂tickets＂ that seem to have no purpose-until the walls of his reality begin to thin.
Feeling he is being trapped in a literal cycle of low-wage, high-consequence labor for one mysterious ＂Company＂ after another, Dane tries to find a way out of the loop, he realizes that the ＂Vacancy＂ isn’t just in his apartment-it’s in the people around him. These Companies aren’t just managing real estate or payroll; they are managing the human soul. When a ＂Unit＂ becomes vacant, something else moves in. And Dane is next on the list.
