[ WP ] In an alternate world , every individual is born with a scar from an injury that has n't happened yet . Once it does happen , the scar goes away , but no one knows how long it 'll be . Where is the scar ? What does it say about the person ? How do they end up getting it ?

Everyone pitied him, the boy in class with the long horizontal scar across his neck. A few were born with their marks in fatal areas. It was considered a handicap; a clear message to society around them that this person was probably not worth investing much in, for who know when that fatal action would occur which would erase the scar? 
 
 Most individuals healed and moved on after their scar-date, reborn in the freedom of nevermore fearing when their predetermined accidents would occur. But those with the presealed wounds about their chests, necks or temples, those people were written off early. This boy may not meet his fatal scar-date until he was a hundred years old, but that did not prevent his teachers from failing to provide him proper attention in his studies and it did not prevent his mother from emotionally disconnecting herself from him, hoping to ease her own pain when his imminent time came. 
 
 So they pitied the boy, those children around him who bore insignificant little marks about their arms or hands. And how lucky they felt... that they were not him.
