Handmaidstale Stories

My name is Joann. I'm seventeen years old. I live in the Republic of Gilead as an econowife. I've been married for six months now, and I'm a little over five months pregnant. Some say women like me are among the lucky ones. Maybe they're right. But each of us carries our own burdens-silent or spoken. This is mine. *This story is based in the Novel Universe of The Handmaid's Tale by Margret Atwood. I don't not own the original source material. These characters are my own, I've stayed as close to the source material as possible but as this is a different story, set in a different district, some details will be changed*

"I never thought I would be here right now. The room is empty; devoid of any personality. The sheets are clean, but also plain... I guess I don't need any showing of a personality, not when I am a commodity. You don't need a personality to breed." The story of Serenity Lyons; a once vibrant college student pushing toward a brighter future that gets stuck in the new world that is Gilead. This is her story of survival and finding light in the darkest corners. Disclaimer: I do not own Handmaid's Tale; I only own the created characters set in the world.

Several of my entries for Wattpad's #MyHandmaidsTale contest. (Disclaimer: I've never read the book or seen the miniseries-the contest rules stipulated that the writer couldn't use any specific characters or settings from either, so these stories are based on the novels' premise...)

A young Muslim woman must fight for her family, future, and right to exist when a hateful, fascist regime is elected to govern America. Author's Note: "A Light On the Sea" is a short 500 word story inspired by Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale," for the #MyHandmaidsTale contest. The main character is named Noor, which means "light" in Arabic. This story is a work of fiction, but the hateful statements within the story are inspired by actual comments made by sitting politicians and pundits, which makes the story all the more chilling. I wanted to use fiction to show how harmful and dangerous this kind of rhetoric is -- and how quickly it can escalate. Genocide is a slow process. No holocaust begins with physical violence. It begins with the normalization of hate speech.

The Wives' Doctrine is a dystopian novel set in a world where women's primary value lies in their ability to bear children. Following a societal collapse, a totalitarian regime rises, imposing strict control over women's bodies and their reproductive roles. The story centers around *Evelynn Noel Jones*, a young woman forced into servitude under a doctrine that strips her of autonomy and dictates her sole purpose: to produce children for the state. As Evelynn navigates this cruel world, she endures the oppressive *Ceremony*, a ritual meant to enforce both obedience and fertility. The women, known as *Wives*, are held captive in a web of religious propaganda and rigid rules, overseen by cold matriarchs and calculating overseers who manipulate faith to justify their control. With every passing day, Evelynn must grapple with the suffocating reality of her situation, finding brief solace in the friendships of fellow captives, like the fragile Naomi and the once-defiant Rebecca. As the pressure to conceive intensifies, Evelynn faces the terrifying prospect of what happens to those who fail. *The Wives' Doctrine* explores themes of oppression, control, and the fight for survival in a world that views women as nothing more than vessels for reproduction. With the ever-present threat of punishment, Evelynn must find a way to reclaim her life and dignity before the system consumes her entirely.
