My entry for the #MyHandmaidsTale contest (a short story less than 500 words in the style of Margaret Atwood's novel, The Handmaid's Tale). In my version, a main character grapples with an autocractic entity threatening to steal what she holds most sacred: her human spirit. This short story could take place in the past, present, or the not-so-distant future. Enjoy this intense reflection on the human psyche!
