Cuts

A Horror Short Story

American Nightmare Mel is a competent middle-aged accounting manager in a mid-size corporation, just a few years from retirement. When a government directive forces him to make way for a younger worker by cutting one of his older accountants, he struggles to decide which one he'll reward with early paid retirement. But the government adds a sinister twist that raises the stakes for Mel and his employees.

Cuts is a horror short story in the best tradition of The Twilight Zone.
