Talons

Talons...that's what they called them. The evil sheet of paper that made people so scared for their life. How could something so small have such an impact? They called them, "talons," because that was what they were like. Claws that scoop you up in the tightest, strongest grip. Once caught, you cannot get away. In this screwed up world somewhere in the 3000's, each person gets a sheet of paper at the end of the month. Stating their full name, their DOB, and how many talons you have. Each talon indicates 30 days. In those 30 days, you must find ways to earn more talons by being a good person. However, once upon a time, I ran out of talons...which meant that I no longer had the right to live..
