Free verse Prophecy

People are born with tattoos across their arms and chest, telling them of their future and their purpose in life.

The tattoos are more akin to birthmarks, like, a book means a teacher, a gun means a soldier and a series of X's means how many lives you will take.

These 'Marks' as they came to be known, were status symbols in society as well as curses on those who carried stories of so much pain and survival across their back.

Josh Hayhew was one of the few blank people in the world, people born without a tattoo or marking.

Josh Hayhew was blank until last night, when we woke up with a time on his wrist, below a name and below that, a time.

Now Josh must find this person, whoever they are before the time runs out, or who knows what will happen?
