In an alternate version of modern London, Julia lives in a state of constant secrecy. The majority of the population has been brainwashed by the repressive government. Rebellion means certain death. Julia meets Winston Smith, and the two fall in love. As they continue to meet in secret, they come closer to the devastating conclusion: there can be no freedom under the watchful eye of Big Brother. Based on George Orwell's novel, this short story is told from Julia's perspective. I didn't label this as fanfiction at first, but I suppose that it is. Dedicated to Michaela Garrity, who gave me the idea to write this after we both read 1984 in English class. If you like this story, don't forget to vote for the chapters. Comments are also appreciated, I'd like to know what you think of it.
