    Welcome to the broken country of Montera where freedom is a memory and the government has implemented oppressive laws, extreme surveillance, and policies that favor white, straight, Christian men while discriminating against everyone else. Brainwashed citizens support the regime in exchange for false promises, while the rest of the population suffers under growing fascism. Ian Kholsa, an average citizen, decides to start an underground anonymous resistance movement called Project John Doe after being inspired by a young rebel that risked it all by sparking a revolution. As he joins the fight against the government's tyranny, Ian discovers a world of conspiracies and traitors and is fighting for a future he might not even live to see. But the closer they get to victory, the more dangerous it becomes as they struggle to bring the oppressive regime down before it's too late. Project John Doe is more than a rebellion-it's the last chance to save everything worth fighting for. Will the people rise, or will the world fall deeper into darkness?

    Not everyone is blessed with everything in life. Nothing is perfect in this universe; everyone has their own issues and problems, but it depends on the person as to how they are portraying their life in front of others. It also depends on the eye of the beholder as to how they perceive it. Meet Khushi Gupta, daughter of Shashi and Garima Gupta; also the CEO of Gupta Designs. For media and the rest of the society, she was always the main attraction as she was the CEO of Gupta Designs. At such a young age, she gained a lot of fame as she made their company reach newer heights in 2 years only. Many were jealous of her as they thought she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth since everything was laid out for her from the very beginning. From afar it seemed like she had it all together in her life. A luxurious life, loving parents, supportive siblings and a ready-made company worth million dollars. Picture perfect life, right? Wrong! Khushi had everything except for one thing. If it was possible for her would have given up all the materialistic luxuries of her life for it. Khushi Gupta, could never be a mother. Although we are living in the 21st century our society still doesn't accept someone like Khushi, as if it was her fault. Indirect taunts, unnecessary questions, bad behavior and the constant reminder of being barren are just a few atrocities one has to go through. Will Khushi be able to find her lost happiness or will she be stuck in this saga of sadness due to society's backdated mind set? ----------------------- Special thanks to @Yagyaseni for suggesting me this idea. https://www.wattpad.com/user/Yagyaseni

    This is something I wrote for my English class, and ended up actually being impressed with it. I don't own Shakespeare or Macbeth (obviously) however I think this little "sequel" if you will, play along really well with it, and hopefully if you take the time to read this all, it will open your mind to a few things. Enjoy!!! -Ellee Bush
