Answer:In the story "Indefinite Inevitable" by Lauren Groff, the narrator's son grows up in a world where only boys are being born. As he reaches high school, the rhetoric around him grows harsher and darker, with borders being locked down and skirmishes flaring. When he turns 18, a latent pandemic blossoms in his blood. He becomes distant and focused, stops going to school, and only watches the news. One morning, he disappears along with the sons of many other families. The narrator's son comes home once on leave, and then he dies alone in a desert.
