Civic Duty

2025 · 20 min

A quiet, creeping pressure cooker where polite bureaucracy slowly strips a woman bare, leaving you uneasy long after.

Overview
In a speculative future, the “Agency for Solidary Coexistence” sanctions citizens who consume too many resources. Gitte, living alone in a house full of possessions, faces a visit from a government agent who gradually dismantles both her life and her sense of self.
How it feels
Tense, dark, satirical and bleak. Slow-burning and demanding.
