Welcome to the not so distant future. Human beings have pushed Mother Earth to her breaking point -- mass wildlife extinctions, global warming, widespread resource shortages, over population -- and the Department of Homeland Security is offering stimulus packages to the children of American citizens who volunteer to be euthanized. This short story about a chance encounter between two volunteers serves as a warning to a self-destructing human race. Voluntary is a tale of sacrifice, passion, and emotion between complete strangers who realize that time is of little importance to their feelings for each other in an inevitably dying world.
