Expiration Stories

"I never knew the end of the universe would be this colourful." Katarina Hyde is dying - welcome to her last moments. 'Scar Theory' excerpt; to be continued at a later date. Trailer by valuables/jeopardize.

I lost everything. My family. Home. Myself. Just because I could see numbers... that indicate people's death. I like to call them 'expiration dates.' I want to be free from this curse, this burden of dreadful knowledge I obtain every time I make eye contact with people, but I can't die. It's not yet my time. The numbers can't be defied, no matter how hard I try. I've stopped trying a long time ago, but I have to risk again. I can't lose him. ...at least not yet.

Short Story, found the prompt online: At birth, everyone has the date they will die tattooed on their arm. You were supposed to die yesterday. Enjoy and comment what you think :)

The music faded into the background during dinner. It was Christmas Eve. Clarissa watched as her beautiful child as she ran across the floor being chased by her father. Rosalie was only four and already her big curls were swinging at her hips. Her big sea green eyes looked identical to Eric's.

Eric swooped down and lifted his laughing daughter into the air when they heard a knock on the door. Rosalie immediately quite laughing and looked at me with wondering eyes. "Go to your room Rosalie.

Ode à la persévérance.

This book is now officially called "Last Breaths" which was under the previous name called "Used to be us...". I remember reading Him by Pierre A Jeanty and I was truly inspired by it. This inspiration led me to write this book. I hope you all enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing this. *** To the one who loved 6.13.19 The expiration date was nearing I thought as I looked at the moon something so magnificent even with the fissures and scars. The heart-aching ritual of the heartbroken heartbreaker, lighthearted I used to be, but to my dismay, you had the deepest of my heart and, that's what I feared the most. . . . . . You taught me how to love yet I had to fight back for the sake of you for the sake of us, the road we were walking on became delicate, a second away from rifting and someone had to live. A ritual is a ritual, anyhow. ~From the one who didn't know what love was *** Just a bunch of letters put together to form a book of regret & romance.

We're supposed to die in year 3000, or so the Society says. We've been living in fear since we could remember. After all, with only 137 days left to live before the Decimation, some wonder what there's left to live for. The Republic's system has lived for nearly 95 years, as it was always intended to. The founders of our Society built our cities as a safe haven for the enigma children. The enigma children were the seven children that survived the plague that killed the human population. They were the only of our race left. But the founders' only mistake was the number of the children they saved, seven, instead of eight. There was always supposed to be eight children, 4 females and 4 males so they could breed equally. But one died before it made it to what we call our Republic now. It died right before the founders did. The sixth child did not survive more than a few days. There was no explanation for its death. Average humans now do not survive past the young age of 19. There is no scientific reasoning behind this; they come over with a sudden death fever, they are murdered or killed or commit suicide. The fear hidden within each and every day of our lives is unbearable. So the founders saved the enigmas in hope of increasing the human population again. They allowed our Society to grow for 95 years as an experiment. We have been watching the years go past, the digital device they left us with count down the day we shall all die. Now we have 137 days left before the Republic shall fall and we all will die. Less than five months. There's only so much time left to figure out what we were meant to do. But why? Why save the enigmas to keep the human population growing if only to kill us now? If this is only an experiment, and we're only lab rats, then what does our future have in store for us?
