A Fair System, Probably

The end of the world has a front desk.
And it requires paperwork.


When Chase arrives in the desert with his friend Rocco, he thinks he’s chasing something strange.


He doesn’t realize he’s already been processed.

Aurecon Election Services doesn’t cause the end of the world. It manages intake — velvet ropes, intake forms, assigned roles.


Failure to comply may result in reassignment.

A Fair System, Probably is a dystopian horror about consent, control, and what happens when the end of the world isn’t chaos — it’s administration.

Theme: When systems unravel

My stories focus on constructed systems, the quiet pressure they exert, and the unintended consequences of their logic. Expect structures that strain, outcomes that twist, and humor so dry it’s almost imperceptible.

About Ken

Software engineering leadership is my background. Fiction—especially about the structures we build and live under—is my perspective.

Here, I write speculative stories that start with a premise about order, then follow the pressure until cracks become quietly visible.
