Version 1.0
In the post zombie apocalyptic world governed by the Illuminati, there is a project known as "Noah's Ark" where everyone is supposed to be entitled to a lifetime partner at one point of their life.

I watch anxiously as each second passed, the time to meet "The One" was nearing. This clock that had began ticking from the time of my birth was finally coming to an end. One more day until i meehim. Have I met him before? Is he good looking? Is he rich? Is he taller than me? Do I really want to meet him? These questions had been lingering in my head for the past week. I never thought that I would be so vexed over such trivial matters. This was like puberty, everyone goes through it but no one is prepared for it.
720:50:45
A month later I am going to meet him. Such idiotic childish things such as love should exist only in fairytales. I don't want to get married, I want to be single and independent. I don't need no partner to support me. I'm better alone anyways...or am I?

Shit! Shit! Shit! Today is the day! I am left with 24 hours before my time runs out! What should I do? Should I get a vanilla latte at Starbucks? What if my Potent would not find me at Starbucks? Then should I go for a 24 kilometre jog? Maybe I would bump into my Potent along the jogging route? Ouch! I'm such a genius, touching the boiling kettle to see if its hot. Pssh. Sometimes I wonder how did I even get to Law school when I lack so much common sense.
My name is Emily. And I live in a studio apartment owned by me and I work as a local journalist for the city's state. I am 25 years old and all my friends have already found and met their Potent. Potent is a slang used in our city for "Potential Partner". The Government believes in the Noah's Ark story in which every animal was a pair and was allowed to enter the Ark. The Government wants to ensure everyone in the country has a partner. No one is allowed to be left single. Apparently, 50 years ago there was a zombie apocalypse that almost wiped out every single human race. The Government needed to ensure that the human race lives on and so it begins. There are only 50,000 people in my city. Pretty small as compared to 2014 where there was like 6million people in a single city.

I fiddled with my timer that was surgically implanted into my wrist when I was 16. Every 16 year old needed to undergo this surgery by law so that everyone had a time that will count down to when they meet their very special someone.
