When Your Time is Up

"Our clocks are our lives, they give us life and determine it. What I can't help but wonder, Mr. Collins, is why don't you have one?"

Mathew never got to know his parents well enough. How could he, when they died before he did?

Their time was up.

And when you live under a society that depends on each and every life clock, almost nothing is unpredictable.

So their deaths were expected.

What wasn't expected, to this highly organized society, however was Mathew's lack of a life clock of his own.

And isn't that interesting?
