"The Expendables" by Jim Harmon is a science fiction tale from the early 1960s about a unique invention for waste disposal that ends up being used by criminals. The story centers around Professor Venetti, who gets mixed up with a mobster named Tony Carmen and his proposal to use Venetti's device, which eliminates matter, to get rid of bodies. Originally created to neutralize radioactive waste instead of disposing of human bodies, the invention's ability to erase objects from existence leads to major moral problems and unexpected consequences. As Venetti and Carmen struggle with the implications of such a powerful tool, the story questions the ethics of using technology that goes against the laws of nature.
