7:4:3

7:4:3 is a story about normalcy and routine in the year 2142, and how it effects the relationship of a married couple who are, in fact, clones.  In a time when people aren't named but actually numbered, they are at odds with the world they exist in and feel confined in a world without individual choice and resolve.  Each of them deal with struggling ideas of individuality and emotion since they both contain memories that they may or may have not experienced.

Seeking advice from what we know as a 'couples therapist', they immediately go to their favorite local dive bar and order the perfect margarita - a 7:4:3 (50% tequila, 29% Triple Sec, 21% fresh lime or lemon juice).  This sparks a cascade of memory and conversation, all of which is at odds with the identity they individually seek.

Inspired by a short story by Alicia Erian7:4:3 is a look into the future.  It is also a testament to a relationship between two clones, who are curious about who and why they are.
