“Working” is a 900-word near-future dystopian flash fiction story about how greed and opportunity turn our exploitation of the working poor into the next phase of professional wrestling.
Jack Hammery is an approved Workfare participant in state-sanctioned one-on-one fights where winners take home food vouchers and losers walk away hungry.
But, when the referee tells him to lose this fight in exchange for cash and continued visibility on the broadcasts, Jack is forced to decide whether the system is working for him.
