This is a flash fiction piece so it is rather short.
The story takes place in the future, where the law requires all teenagers graduating high school to take a test that indicates whether or not they are worthy of life. It is a large test made up of 57 individual tests. If you fail, then you are killed, but if you pass then you go on with life.
It's not the greatest description, but the story is so shorts, it's pretty much its own description.
