Howdy This short story was originally written for a competition in sci-fi. I didn't go anywhere, but I'm still pretty proud so I decided to post it here. This story falls into a world much like ours, but far in the future. Human emotions are no longer felt naturally, instead they are bought. Much like an energy drink. This may become a string of short stories. Each depicting a different character with different struggles, but we'll see. Please enjoy!
