The government set up the 'Expiration' policy in 2020 as an experiment to find out if it would improve the high population and increasing levels of unemployment and poor housing. It means that when people are born they are given a timer, this is when you will die and during this time you must fulfil certain tasks. If you rebel you will be killed. This short story follows the Protagonist Aiden Miller through the form of a diary throughout his struggles in this new society. After his parents are murdered and Aiden becomes the property of the State he decides to document his experiences as a way of escape, whilst hoping for an actual escape. A dystopian short story which tackles the issues or humanity, control, freedom, power of the state and more.  

PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS WITH SUGGESTIONS OF CHANGES - THIS IS A FIRST DRAFT AND WILL POSSIBLY BE CHANGED.

Antique store owner Liz brings home a Victorian taxidermy hound from auction, unwittingly unleashing dark forces on her wife and son. ***** Nat Loman has finally married the love of her life, Liz, and is getting used to her role as stepmother to Liz's 5-year-old son, Liam. The Loman family runs a bustling antique business so they attend a sale where a striking, black taxidermied hound is up for auction. Liz picks it up for the business, but it ends up being stored in their home, where Nat notices strange things occurring. She quickly discovers the past residents had died violently. Then she hears from a friend about the myth of "the devil's dog", a hound that perches in the shadows, tearing families apart from the inside. Soon, people around the Lomans are dying, and Liz is changing, darkening. It's up to Nat to save the woman she loves from the darkness closing in, and to save Liam from danger no matter what she has to sacrifice.
