Population Crisis

"People of the United States of America, I am here to inform you of the situation that is currently happening and that I have just been recently informed of. A classified experiment has been taking place since the year of 1988. The goal of this experiment was to help decrease our population issues around the world for the future generations. Later on, a serum was injected to anyone over the age 13 making sure less children were able to be born. The serum was hidden in the vaccines. However, what we didn't know due to lack of regulation, was that the serum genetically mutated to give a shorter life span after a few years. Anyone born in the year of 1998, 1999, and 2000, will live for another 3 weeks, 3 days, and 17 hours. The virus has become more powerful than we are able to handle yet and we are working on finding a cure as we speak. We advise everyone to not panic and remain calm. We must work through this together. We must unite as a country. Thank you."
The reporter on the TV was looking shocked and speechless. It was a grave silence until she cleared her throat and was finally able to speak. She continued to go on further about the details she was getting, but I didn't listen. I looked at my friends. They were already looking at me.
Tears brimmed in my eyes along with Casey's. Devin came and hugged us both. We were all best friends. We were all 17, born in 1999. We were all apart of an unknown experiment gone wrong. All slowly dying.
