Addressing the face of ignorance? Check. Suddenly getting hit with reality? Check. Wondering how things can change so abruptly? Check. Who knew coming back from summer vacation could lead to so much heartbreak? Emerson "Emie" Badgley sure didn't. She expects to come back to a basic senior year startup with her best friends flanking her side and her boyfriend clutched close. After all, Emie is a nice girl, and she's in a darling relationship with local dream guy Sebastian Caldwell. Sebastian is the perfect gentleman and boyfriend. Well, for Emie anyway. Living in a small town, they've known each other since childhood. As far as any school sweetheart goes, Sebastian and Emie are it. But when Sebastian returns from vacation with his family, there's a noticeable change in him and Emie can't place what. As she tries to take their platonic, conservative relationship to the next level, Sebastian withdraws-avoidance and arguing are what they resort to. With such an abrupt reaction from him, it leaves Emie to ponder just what the issue is. Why is Emie's wish to take their relationship to the next level such a huge problem?

Dear Mason Hill You are familiar with the fact that every government (including ours) has to downsize the population of their country so that the world won't end up overpopulated. Every year we choose at the least four people of any age who have to lay their lives down. You have been chosen to do so. You have time until your due date to live. On December 25th 20XX you will be expected or forced (depending on how you act) to be present at Suicide Bridge where you shall lay your life down.
