Expendable

by K. Scott Forman

Some women's social circles silently shun those who cannot bear children, while openly praising physical perfection. If one does not meet the standard, if beauty is on the line, then some things are expendable. One woman seems to have found the secret to beauty and youth, but some expendables end up dead.
