Six months unemployed. The Registration Notice arrived on a Tuesday.

She had fourteen days before she'd be entered into the Public Registry—available to any man who wanted her.

Ethan tried. He really did. But the Protection Fee was $47,000. He makes $34,000 a year.

He called you crying. Begging. Said he'd do anything.

You said yes.

You don't know why. Neither does s
