dystopia fiction future science scifi test

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.All Rights Reserved

The Test [#1] by Happy1216

Survive. That's the one thing we have to do. No holding back. No second thoughts. But it's just not that simple. Every year, a group of sixteen-year-olds is chosen to represent their family. They are taken from their homes and the only way to go back home is if they pass. The Test. It could make you. It could destroy you. All you have to do, is pass. It's not one you study for. They're all different. No one is able to talk about it. Not everyone survives. And those who do, are too terrified to talk about it. One thing for sure is, you have to be focused. Any distraction can cost you. Anything could fail you.
