Assignment's End

Philip Alcorn’s gift is oddly paradoxical: anyone who comes near him feels an unexpected calm, yet the peace never reaches him. Plagued by vivid, unsettling hallucinations that surface at the worst possible moments, he tries to keep his personal life with Kitty afloat while juggling a demanding advertising career. When a mysterious call from Victor Jaffers of Carter International arrives, the offer to monetize his talent for a staggering fee forces Alcorn to confront the ethical line he has always drawn around his ability.

The story follows Alcorn as he balances his fragile sanity, the expectations of his fiancée, and the seductive pull of a powerful organization that sees his gift as a strategic weapon. As the deadline for a crucial conference looms, the tension between his moral compass and the promise of a lucrative, yet ominous, new role begins to tighten. Listeners will be drawn into a tense, character‑driven tale that explores the cost of wielding an unsettling power in a world where trust is as fragile as a dream.
