200 GN

Its Eva Thornes 200th birthday. But its not a celebration, more like a funeral. Eva lives in a world where the Cure for aging and illness has been discovered and administered to every person on Earth, only theres one big hitch. It turns out that very few people can handle immortality, so they have to take a test on their two hundredth birthday. If they pass, then they get to live forever. But if they fail, they must be euthanized. Evas not an optimist. In fact, shes pretty sure that shes going to fail her Centurial Assessment Test. For starters, almost nobody passes anymore. Shes seen the news stories. But than more than that, Eva can tell that shes already starting to slip mentally. Ever since the Escorts took her husband Owen away for his test a little over six months ago and he never came back, shes been chainsmoking cigarettes (they cant kill her after all), binge drinking, and waiting for the Escorts to get it over with already. Who wants to live forever if you have to do it alone?
