Something Dark Is Coming

On November 14, we're releasing Lot 722. My hardest work. Not because of explicit content—though there's plenty—but because of what it shows about systems that commodify desperation.

Lot 722 drops October 14.

Lot 722 Book Cover

Teal Weaver is eighteen. Purple hair he saved eight months to buy. Twelve years old brother. Parents drowning in generational debt that compounds faster than they can breathe. The system offers one exit: auction yourself for 365 days. Walk away with enough to erase everything.

He sells for 26.7 million euros. Becomes Lot 722. Gets renamed Purple by bored twins for branding purposes. Spends a year as livestream content for hundreds of millions while forgetting his own name. Survives. Can't go home. Finds others who can't go home. Builds something from the wreckage.

This is social commentary that won't flinch from showing you what exploitation actually looks like when you strip away the comfortable euphemisms. The sexual violence isn't gratuitous—it's the most honest way to show what the system does when it treats people as property. When it grinds them into profit.

Here's the part that makes this hard to read: this isn't that far from reality. We already sell ourselves. We call it employment. We call it the grind. We calculate whether destroying ourselves is worth keeping our families housed, fed, medicated. We already have auctions—we call them job markets. We already get renamed and rebranded for someone else's profit. We already perform for cameras, optimize ourselves for metrics, forget who we were before we learned what makes us valuable to the people who own our time.

The only difference is we use softer words. We say "human capital" instead of merchandise. We say "labor market" instead of auction. We say "career" instead of contract. But strip away the euphemisms and look at what's actually happening: you sell your body, your time, your health, your dignity—hour by hour, year by year—because the alternative is watching people you love suffer. That's not choice. That's coercion with paperwork.

Teal's world is just honest about it.

Content Notes for Lot 722: Explicit sexual content (oral sex, anal sex, penetration, masturbation, group sex, public sex, livestreamed sex), power dynamics (owner/property, dominance/submission), dehumanization (renaming, objectification, being referred to as merchandise), degradation, physical restraint, body modification (augmentations for sale), psychological manipulation, dissociation, self-harm, suicidal ideation, panic attacks, trauma responses, economic coercion, generational poverty, debt bondage, medical procedures without full autonomy, loss of identity, references to other victims who didn't survive and profanity

The sexual content is explicit and pervasive but exists in the context of systematic exploitation and coercion. This is not erotica. Not for arousal.

Don't read either if you need easy answers. If you want redemption arcs that feel good. If you need someone to tell you the system is fixable.
