the norm. {fiction}

you either kill yourself or be killed here.
the year is 2197. murder is no longer an option. no man nor woman shall live a life longer than 18 years of age, and will commit suicide on their 18th birthday. they must have a child before this action. they will never be able to see their child. this is the new way of controlling the population. what happens to those who don't do as they are told, you ask? we won't talk about that.
