SFS2 - Science Fiction Short Stories: 10 Science Fiction Short Stories (8 page)

“It's only 80% likely to happen,” said the President. “Other than the last point, there's not much danger in the situation I think. If they happen, they happen. Also, human meat will be taxed at a higher rate so that we can bring in more money for the government. That should help fix some of the problems, right?”

The President decided that he wasn't going to ban human meat. The Meat Store saw a lot of business. The government allowed flexible pricing for human meat and celebrities earned even more money from the Meat Store. When a new celebrity launched their meat in the Meat Store, sometimes the price exceeded $100 per lb. Humans eat humans and the government got revenue.

However, three months later, the President decided to ban human meat. No one knew why. Not even the Home Minister.

Turns out, the President learned that his daughter was planning to sell her tissue to the Meat Store. He found out by accident. As a father he wasn't ready to hear how many pounds of his daughter's meat were being sold every day.
