The Mating Mandate
Read the storyThe year is 2157 and a virus has killed 75 percent of life on earth. To repopulate the planet the government has mandated marriage assignments for all at the end of their senior year in high school. Everyone is tracked starting from their 5th birthday, and the computers picked the calculated best. There’s no guarantee that you’ll be assigned a partner at the same age. If a marriage partner dies and the other one is still at breading age they are put in the pool.
