The Auction of Regrets
An invitation arrives for an exclusive auction where attendees bid on their own regrets—chances to undo past mistakes, relive lost moments, or erase shameful memories. The price isn't gold but future potential. Winners give up years of life, talents, or relationships yet to come. Infiltrate the auction, determine who's running it, and stop the trade before desperate bidders sell their entire futures.
