Publisher's Summary

In Scotland, in the not too distant future, Elaine, a partially sighted woman in her 60s, enters an exit facility. Down on her uppers, she is in search of a swift, free, and dignified death so that she can preserve her last remaining asset–a small flat–for her daughter to inherit. But once Elaine has checked in and finds her “Exit” delayed, the enforced wait leads her to question her choice and, more importantly, the state’s motives….

“We have different categories of client here. The first are the Facility’s original category, terminally-ill clients who are in urgent need of Compassionate Closure. Then we have the voluntary clients–people such as yourself who have chosen Closure for their own personal reasons,” the Administrator said.

“What about the third category?” Elaine asked.

“There is no third category.”
