Logan's Run by Wm. F. Nolan and Geo. Clayton Johnson

This is an early post-apocalyptic, dystopic story--written in 1967. 

In a re-built society of the future, people are only allowed to live until they turn 21 years old.  At that time--Lastday--an implant in the palm--a plam flower--flashes red; and the 21-year-old must report to a Sleepshop to be "recycled" (killed). If one flees, a Sandman will track down that fugitive and kill him.  

What happens when a Sandman decides to run?
