To speak, it must first become able to die.
A robot arrives at court with its own death certificate. Mara recognises her dead father’s handwriting. A murdered judge’s records begin a case about memory, identity and responsibility.
KWA KORTI / THE FOUNDING COLLECTION
What would you
sacrifice to
be believed?
A robot wants the right to die. A child refuses to let a machine go. A father owns an alibi he cannot trust.
Enter Nairobi, 2074. Three connected stories about the people we belong to, the memories we carry, and what remains of us when the record gets it wrong. For the part of you that keeps asking whether a verdict is the same as justice.

Who owns a life?
Who gets to decide?
A family cannot be divided like an inventory.
A child’s long attachment to a machine caregiver becomes entangled in the adults’ separation. Love, ownership and privacy demand different answers.
The certificate is genuine. The alibi is not.
A grieving father receives proof that he was at the coast when a woman was killed in Nairobi. The record belongs to something made from him.
22,435 story words across three complete short works. Read them in order for the continuing characters. This is a collected short-fiction edition, not three full-length novels.

ALREADY OWN THE FIRST STORY?
Know the overlap.
The Last Human Witness is the same story sold in the separate $3 reader bundle. The $7 collection adds two complete stories, collected formats, the toolkit and reading-room prints.
You do not need to buy both editions to read the first story. There is no automatic credit or upgrade discount included.
Reader materials may contain spoilers. Keep them for after the stories. The editable prints are personal assets, not a commercial resale licence.
