Handmaidstale Stories

It's been 2000 years since the last age of dragons and all that remains is an abandoned canyon and a clutch of dormant, desiccated eggs. In the years since the dragons left, history has been rewritten, dragons have been relegated to myth, and the powerful female dragon wards are long since forgotten. A princess marked for assassination on her wedding night, an abandoned and street savvy orphan, a perfectly bred and created "mate", and an ancient crone all struggle to find their place in a rapidly and irrevocably changing sociopolitical landscape. Danger surrounds them on all sides as war looms between four nations, and across the sea, a dark and twisted dragon lord plots and waits. These four women must overcome their own limitations and those placed on them to courageously bring about a new age of dragons. Dragonriders of Pern meets The Handmaid's Tale in this women's fiction fantasy epic.

The midwife will call it mercy. She will hold a pillow over his face or put him outside for the frigid air to correct this mistake. He was never meant to be mine, but in that moment, I understand how much I love him.

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.

"Roses don't thrive without pruning. They rot from the center." He was standing too close for propriety, yet far enough for denial. "Yes, Commander." His gaze lingered on the soil clinging to her skin. "You were a teacher, before?" "I was." "Then you understand structure." ... "You cannot keep her here like this." "This is the law." "Law, or habit?" ... House of Guinness x The Handmaid's Tale crossover in which you will find Edward Guinness as The Commander and Ellen Cochrane as Ofedward (aka Offred in Atwood's novel).

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.

As the Faithful, we had to be fruitful and multiply. It was God's Word. Didn't we?

This is a found poem, which was inspired by Margaret Atwood's novel "The Handmaid's Tale".

Poet describes men that are favored and empowered in the Mormon church due to the patriarchy and sexism

A dystopian novel following several characters in their plight to escape the wasteland. A new government has taken over, but is it deadly enough to eliminate the fighting spirits of Eiden, Tae, Scarla and Odette. The genetic faults. The hopeless causes. Perfectly hidden among a sea of mass produced life. If you hear the alarm; they have already caught you. Where do the boundaries and deceit end and their old lives begin?

What would you do if the whole world around you was falling apart, right before your eyes? "I remember everything about that day. The day President Hess took everything away from me. He took over all the TV's in the world, or so I thought. How weird we all thought that our TV's could be controlled so easily. For them to make us see what they wanted us to. That's when he stepped up to his podium and made his announcement stating everyone would be going through a screening process immediately for genetic diseases and disorders. My family and I joked around until there was a knock at the door. Two armed guards walked into the house, pushing my father back toward us. We were forced to walk outside with everyone else in the neighborhood. Some people already in their pajamas, even some people without shoes. The guardians, as President Hess calls them, kept everyone in line and in order as we all walked in a straight line in the direction of the nearest hospital. Walking into the unknown."
