Collide

In this Matriarchal society, women now rule the world. They think they have it all figured out. Men are content with three things: shelter, sustenance, and sex. The men and women are housed in separate communities. Everyone has beautiful houses, endless recreational activities, and sex at their fingertips. Requesting a ceremony on their device as often as they like. Ceremonies would be performed like a business transaction: reproduction or pleasure. Relationships and Marriage no longer existed.Mary, Lead Engineer, is a woman who has always followed society norms. She lived with her two children and came from a long line of women who were prominent in the Council. Her life had been mapped out for her since she was a child. Surrounded by loved ones and success. Lip, Engineer, his life was not anything like Mary's. Lip's mother died during childbirth, causing him to search for a sense of belonging. Living most of his life on the streets, alone, raised by criminals. All his hard work was finally acknowledged by the Maiden herself. Leading him to work for Mary.Life appeared to be perfect with its new structure and order, until Lip's world collided with Mary's. Sending them into unknown territory and overwhelming feelings. Dragging their loved ones through their treacherous journey. Along the way, they discovered several others pushing back against the system. People wanting to be loved, men wanting to be fathers.Can humans thrive having everything they need, or will we always crave what we cannot have?
