EATMS//Story Reclamation Series 01

Prologue: The Book of 21 Night Mothers

She Was Fined for Her Fertility

by Eloise Yarvin

(Is not, and has not been connected to any current or past administration.)

Greeting fellow Spitters—today’s fiction was extracted from a ledger marked OBSOLETE and a future they tried to sell back to us...

It started as a joke.

“Womb tax,” they called it.

Girls would whisper it to each other on the bus, in the yard, behind the compliance kiosk. A scare story, mostly. The kind of thing passed between giggles and dare-you-notes.

But she remembered when the joke stopped being funny.

It was the day she turned fifteen.

A letter arrived, sealed and scanned. It said:

"You have entered your Reproductive Value Assessment Window."

Inside was a form. Titled:

Potential Output Forecast: Citizen-Bearing Units

And below that:

Projected Burden: 3.4 Dependent Units

Penalty Adjustment: Applied

Her body had been valued.

Costed.

Assigned debt for lives not yet conceived.

The fine would be deducted from future labor credits. Retroactively, if necessary.

Attached was a brochure: smiling faces, domestic scenes, a disclaimer about national obligation.

She carried the page with her for three days before tearing it in half on the steps of the Department of Purpose.

No one stopped her.

No one had to.

The threat wasn’t jail.

It was designation.

A new file. A new status.

A quieter life in a different zone.

But something else happened first:

When she tore the page, it bled.

Ink, not red. But it ran anyway.

Letters smeared, numbers distorted. The forecast blurred.

She watched the numbers melt until the line that said

Projected Burden: 3.4

now read:

You were never the burden. They were.

And in that moment, she felt it:

The ledger didn’t just record value.

It reacted to refusal.

She walked out of the ward.

We walk with her now.

The story lives where they tried to erase us.
