Blue Ticket

I liked the meandering tone that others don't seem too, as much. I also thought it was an interesting consideration of the ways that society/social circumstances pit women against each other and together and the interpersonal conflict that we see bloom from these contrived differences and boundaries.
A little preachy perhaps at parts so a star off for that.
Over all, enjoyed it though.

Everyone knows how the lottery works. On the day of your first menstrual cycle, you report to the station and receive your ticket. White ticket? Marriage and a family. Blue ticket? No children and the freedom to do whatever you want in life.

Calla draws a blue ticket. Her life proceeds.

And then Calla begins to sense a feeling rising up in her, a desire to have a child. She acts on it, and soon she is on the run.

Reading Blue Ticket leaves you thinking about women's lives, freedom, friendship, love, choice, and the role of powerful influencers.
