Harlan slid Herbert’s body into the cremation chamber, just another nameless soul passing through his hands. He didn’t know the guy, didn’t know his story—just another job, another fire. As he watched the flames consume, his mind drifted to something else entirely: the documentary he’d watched last night about factory farming. The footage of suffering animals had unsettled him, stuck in his head like a song he couldn’t shake. Was he really okay with being part of that? The thought lingered as he turned away from the heat, already planning his next meal, wondering if it was time for a change.
