The Dates

Chapter Two

"Hunny can you go grab some milk from the store?" My mom asked, not used to calling my by name. I didn't know hers. I wasn't chosen. I know you must have plenty of questions but you will find answers.

I was given a folder for my 13th birthday from the national sole name committee (NSNC). It has 10 names in it. It's an honor to know someone's name. It means their family, friends, sole mates, or children. They all come from a large machine that can tell the future, past, and present with no issue.

Sense the machine countries have been to war and back fighting over the machine and what it can do. Until the Russia got ahold of it and decided to ask it how the world should be.

Then it brought down rules.

Thousands.

Then they decided it would be best if we followed them.

Now the machine found codes in human dna that could state every date in their life and wag at it entailed it found the souls name.

That's the name that is so important.

It states we know them before, that they were importaint. Either a father, mother, lover, ect.

But I'm here to tell you about me.

I'm very special.

My dates are... Odd. I mean yes they have disappeared eventually but they tend to linger.

Like for my 6th birthday when I should have lost 3/15/78 but it stayed for a week.

Nobody else knows this but me.

I walked out of my parents house and got into my car to drive to a sunny mart to grab some milk.

I walked in the door and saw a few people I sort of recognized by face but no name rushed into my head. I haven't had one yet. Out of all 10. I'm 17 years old. Usually by now your supposed to know at least 2 people.

I walked to the back of the store to get some milk.

I remember all of the stories I've heard about the 'One' usually the last person you meet is your sole mate. they say the second you see each other you know their name and joy fills your brain and the same with them. I can't wait until I see them.

Or anyone for that matter.
