FANTASY/SCI-FI Festival Best Scene: Miracle Makers, by Beatriz Talerico

In a future where fertility is rare and tightly controlled, an eighteen-year-old girl is publicly selected as a Miracle Maker after failing to comply with a mandatory wellness check. As she is celebrated and subjected to months of ritualized spectacle broadcast to the world, she comes to believe her pregnancy is a blessing meant for her alone. Only after the birth does she awaken to the truth: the celebration was a trial, the child was never hers to keep, and she has been absorbed into a system that forces fertile women to endlessly repopulate society.
