Monologue Of Tattoos

Prologue
100 years ago humans formed a tattoo on their wrist. That tattoo isn’t any normal tattoo. The tattoo moves, it is a digital clock that counts down how many days and hours humans have left until they meet their soulmates.
The humans don’t know how or why it got there. There are different theories behind the tattoo. Religion, Evolution, and some even believe aliens. In the end no one really knows.

The little boy starts kicking and screaming harder trying to get Officer Jackson to let him go, but fails. He grabs onto doorways, bites, and punches. He tries everything he could just to stay with his mother but Jackson will not let go.
Jackson holds on with his iron grip bringing him out of the apartment and into the hallway. He doesn’t want the boy to see the gruesome scene more then he already has.
The red haired women rushed towards the two. She gasped once she saw blood stains on his white shirt.
“Gavin?” She swallowed. “What happened?” Jackson just ignored her along with the other neighbors in the hallway. He continued attending to
