In writing 'Minimum Payment Due,' I aimed to tackle the pervasive issue of debt and the urgency it brings, exploring how it affects the individual's psyche.
I wanted to unfold the layers of indoctrination and groupthink, examining the forces that lead an individual to conform, intertwined with themes of debt.
The narrative begins with a ringing phone to build immediate tension while subtly introducing the elements of cult involvement without making it overt at first.
Ultimately, the climax presents a contradiction for the narrator: resolving his debt comes with the cost of more financial commitment, raising questions about choice and manipulation.
