A bit of context before you begin to read this. This story takes place in a dystopian future United States called Nevia. You will begin to learn more about Nevia as you read through the stories.

Warning: This story does not have any NSFW content, but is rather a lead up to the eventual future parts.

On the 25th of January the year after one’s 18th birthday, they must go to a huge event in which the government assigns every 18-year-old a career that they must be in for the rest of their life. I turned 18 last June, and this was my day to be assigned a career.
“I’ll be down in a minute, mom!” The clock ticked in the background as I rushed to put on a casual outfit: jeans and a simple graphic t-shirt. As I rushed downstairs, I saw my mom waiting for me, staring deep into my soul.
