Manuscript File 229-38: A Revolutionary's Journal

Manuscript File 229-38 (occasionally misattributed as Manuscript File 229-28, a very common error) is a handmade leather journal measuring 15.25 centimeters wide, 25.4 centimeters long, and 3.47 centimeters tall. It is in poor visual condition, as it is blood-stained and scuffed to a heavy degree. Structurally, it is sound.

Manuscript File 229-38 is composed of the journal contents, which span only 10 pages. Roughly fifty pages of the journal are illegible from damage, but analysis shows that many of these do not contain traces of handwriting.

Manuscript Addendums 229-38-A through 229-38-J are a series of loose papers originally attached to the journal by vegetable twine. They are included here.

Manuscript File 229-38 was discovered in the attic of an abandoned, single story house located in the ruined city of New Heights, in the former hinterland of the United Christian Dominion, a failed state founded in 2025. As a recent artifact of recently liberated territory, it has been deemed suitable for archival and facsimile reproduction, under the justification of education for posterity.

Manuscript File 229-38 is suspected to have been written by a transfemme individual roughly 30 to 40 years of age, likely born between 1995 and 2005. The ideology presented in Manuscript File 229-38 is broadly contrarian to centralized authority and broadly favorable to communitarian and egalitarian views of existence. Sociologically, it primarily centers around a conflict-theory-based worldview, heavily influenced by the collapse of the United States of America.
