the world changed thousands of years ago and no one knows why. people were suddenly finding strange but beautiful markings on their bodies and they were anywhere: the arm, the kneecap, the backside of the knee. people were scared of the markings at first because they just appeared and no one could put their finger on what the markings were for or how they worked. for a while, all over the world people had their own speculations on what the markings could mean but no one seemed to get the right answer.

that was until it happened.

“all i did was touch him and all of sudden it was just the two of us. it was like there was no one else in the world.”

the incident is called the first mate because it didn’t take long for people to realize what the strange markings on their body were. they were marks to find the ones that completed them. they were marks to find their soul mates.

this classic story of how two people found each other by touch.
