Going Without the Sun

Chapter 1

Amelia exited her residence to go and watch her siblings out during play hours of the day. She sat on the steps and looked up at the gray clouds that hung in the sky in big rolling balls. She let out a sigh letting her thoughts drift to what the sun must have felt like. It was one of those rare occasions where it was not raining but even then the clouds never left not since the sun died anyway that's what she was told not that she believed that. Outing those thoughts would cause either a big ugly argument or people to think she had lost it, so she kept her thoughts to herself.

"Amy! Come play with us" shouted Amelia's younger sister Sasha pulling Amelia out of her thoughts. She wasn't supposed to be playing with the lower age children because the community had said it affected growing development but Amelia didn't care she got up and started toward them and begun to block the red ball that was being passed back to her.

After a while Amelia went inside to finish her work. She started to think of what would happen to her in three weeks. In three weeks Amelia would be sifted for a husband the community has marchers who watch people over the years and look closely at people's personalities, so they can properly match people. This was to prevent bad relations and bad parenting. Sometimes they would find a match in one week sometimes in five years but only the community would make these decisions.

Each match got to meet then they would date for two months then there would be a scheduled wedding. Amelia was very nervous she never really spent time with her peers they all thought she was strange and she had spent most of her life minding other things. She did not know what to expect her match to be like.
