(Inspired by a 30-day yoga challenge at my yoga studio, I'm writing 30 flash fictions in 30 days. One a day. 100 words or less. Time limit: 15 minutes. You can read all of them here.)
The national epidemic of physiological downloads has resulted in a unilateral destabilization of individual identities that has not been seen since the previous century. Citizens who are unable to maintain facial coherence for the mandated period will be required to report to the nearest urban radicalization camp by end of day. Failure to report will result in fines, arrest, and incarceration without the possibility of release. Willing remanders will be outfitted with new identity scripts and reassigned to diversified productivity sites for rehabilitation and training before release.
