Narrative During Books Voluntary
Readers' Favorite International Book Awards 2013 Gold Medal Winner — Short Story — FictionWelcome to the not so distant future. Human beings have pushed Mother Earth to her breaking point—mass wildlife extinctions, global warming, widespread resource shortages, over population—and the Department of Homeland Security is offering stimulus packages to the children of American citizens who volunteer to be euthanized.
This short story about a chance encounter between two volunteers serves as a warning to a self-destructing human race. Voluntary is a tale of sacrifice, passion, and emotion between complete strangers who realize that time is of little importance to their feelings for each other in an inevitably dying world.

From the sombre quote by Nine Inch Nails, we are thrown into the separation of father and sonand into the story of 'Voluntary', the tone is set immediately- sardonic, sombre, dry humor, concluding with hot erotica.The story reminds me of a short story I read at school called'robot revolt', who i cant remember the author but it has thatdry futuristic style to it.Gripping from start to finish, 'Voluntary' is an enjoyable read.Let me start by saying: Read this! And read it more than once! It is more than worth your time.It's quite astounding how Aaron Powell has a way around words. From erotica to dystopian, he manages to bring entertainment to us readers.I, as a reader and an author, love philosophy - and I love erotica or erotic. And I got both of it on one seating. But this is not just a philosophical, dystopian short story with erotic scenes.BTW, there is nothing better to me than a book with steamy sex scenes.
great read... great author... everyone should check this one out! it is proof that true love can be found anywhere and with anyone. even in the worst of times we can take solace in each other. i hope i am half the parent these people are! if you are a parent and you're not moved by the sacrifice these people are making maybe you shouldn't have had kids.
This book was reviewed by Lee Ashford for Readers' Favorite.Voluntary by Aaron Powell is a short, powerful vignette of one possible near-future dystopia. Earth has been polluted, abused, over-populated, and just generally degraded beyond the point at which it can sustain the life it is expected to support. In a desperate attempt to stem the tide of decline, nations around the world have come up with various means of reducing their population; means which would have been unthinkable a generation
Soylent Green is real???My first impression was, Soylent Green, with the exception, the masses arent feasting on the deceased green chips. The worlds over-population has become critical. The Earths resources are rapidly drying up. Many countries have already instituted mandatory selected elimination. The United States is still trying to show a sense of humanity by allowing families to decide their fate. Volunteer for the program and the State will guarantee your children will live, or at least,
Voluntary: Goodbye World by Aaron PowellLove at first sight There is no such thing as coincidence, only destiny. Fate .Travis and Lisa were strangers meant to be together.
