Myhandmaidstale Stories

THE FORGOTTEN WILL RISE FROM RUIN. A tale of two lonely isles, separating those chosen and those forgot. Hope springs eternal in the human breast; Man never is, but always to be blessed: The soul, uneasy and confined from home, Rests and expatiates in a life to come. -Alexander Pope, An Essay on Man #MyHandmaidsTale Contest Entry

*COMPLETE* This is the story of London. Of how she came to be where she is. Of the corruption that forced her there. Of the torture she endured. *Just a little short to stimulate the mind :)

This short story is an attempt to answer the question of why women of other races were spared, despite the prevalence and empowerment of White supremacy. #MyHandmaidsTale

Entry for the Handmaids Tale contest

1 in every 4 girls will be raped before they reach age 18. When a woman is raped, she not only has to suffer and recover from physical damages, but also her mental oppression. Rape victims are likely to smoke, drink, overeat, and let themselves get into life endangering situations. Out of all the women who have been raped, not even half report it due to fear, but what if one woman can make a difference by fighting for herself and others by standing up from her fears? I am a daughter of a feminist and a fighter myself as I march and write and call my senators. The voice is very important and The Handmaid's Tale was pushed onto me by my mother as it has been her favorite book. I want to take this opportunity to share my own short story on fighting for better chances for women.

The sight of life born and stolen.

Laura was an unfit mother in the eyes of society, and she lost her freedom because of it.

I use to be Sophia Ralotte.

[A counterintuitive approach to the #myhandmaidstale challenge] A broken smile twisted her features into something cruel. "I'm the one who's going to make your people pay for what you did." || if you like this story, please vote and comment! ||

#MyHandmaidsTale I am loving the series and the book, so I had to enter the contest. Short, but not very sweet.

In society today, women are still struggling to exercise rights over their own body. They are still striving to defy labels and dictates thrust on them by a male-driven sytem. So when a young woman is placed between a rock and a hard place, can she find hope in an impossible choice?

In this tale, a handmaid drifts into daydreaming and finds an opportunity for one final good deed. A 500 word short story for the contest #MyHandmaidsTale, by #Hulu and #MargaretAtwood. (Finalist: #top25) If you read it, please do comment. Your input is appreciated! Cover: Johnny Bijos

Clarka lives a privileged life in a world where all obstacles to equality seem to have been overcome, but her mother clings to a notion of freedom different than her own. How can she honor her ancestors and be her own person?

Inspired by The Handmaid's Tale

In the colony of Meritt, young girls are poised to be virtuous wives at an early age. Through rigorous testing and isolation the girls are prepped and groom and for Clara, the day has come for herself to prove if she has what it takes to be an ideal wife or barren one.
