Isaiah is a young black man working for Zimmer Land, a theme-park that has adults act out "justice scenarios" with live actors (think like a haunted house, to the next level.) There are levels like a group of terrorists that take over a train or identifying who is embezzling money at a firm. The module that Isaiah works on is simple: there is a stranger (him) who has been walking around the neighborhood, and seems suspicious. They have three options: first, they could call the police or friends to help, second, they can take a gun, or third, they can take nothing and deal with the situation with their bare hands. Most choose the gun, and almost all the patrons end up killing him. It's clear that Isaiah has conflicted feelings about all this -- although the job is paying well, there are constantly protestors who feel that Zimmer Land plays on racist stereotypes and isn't doing anything in the way of moral education. Isaiah's ex-girlfriend, Melanie, even tells him that the job has taken his soul before she leaves him. (Although, she ends up dating the creator of Zimmer Land and working for them as well.) Isaiah has plans and wants to make his module more complex -- he suggests adding more options in the beginning, or making the weight of a life taken heavier by requiring the patrons to meet the family of the person they have killed at the end of the module -- but he is ignored at a creative meeting. In fact, it seems they don't want him at the meeting at all, since they give him the wrong meeting time. At the end of the story, it is announced that Zimmer Land is opening a new module just for kids, which has them track down a terrorist who has a plot to bomb their school. All the other modules also end up accepting kids, and the story ends with Isaiah being beaten up by a repeat patron while his kid watches.
