When a disillusioned teacher joins the Revolution's Department for Redirection and Reeducation, he discovers his true calling lies not in enlightening minds, but in breaking them. What begins as a simple reassignment becomes a descent into methodical horror where lesson plans are written in blood and graduation comes at an unspeakable price.

"A Job Well Done" explores the terrifying intersection of education and indoctrination, where familiar classroom dynamics transform into instruments of systematic cruelty. When the teacher encounters a ghost from his past—a former honor student now designated as P-19845—the boundaries between educator and executioner dissolve completely.

This chilling tale examines how ordinary people become monsters through institutional validation, and how the language of learning can mask the most brutal acts of dehumanization.

Written, produced, and narrated by Derrick Heisey with atmospheric sound design.
