A Not Too Bright Future


Kayla Reed is a sixteen year old high school student with dreams of becoming an artist. Unfortunately, her dreams have been shattered before they they even had a chance. While discussing the matters at hand with her counsellor, Kayla's mind begins to drift as she notices a bar code tattoo on her counsellor's wrist. Though the norm at the time, Kayla doesn't accept the idea of being branded like an animal. This bar code tattoo, the new trend of the 21st century is meant to replace all personal information and files. It becomes your credit card, your driver's licence, your birth certificate, your entire identity.
Distraught at the idea of not being accepted to an art school because of bad computer grades, Kayla trudges home where she is greeted by her hysterical mother. A terrible tragedy has just befallen Kayla and her mother, and the future does not look too bright for either of them.
