This short 500 word story serves as a submission for the Handmaid's Tales contest hosted by Hulu. It is inspired and based on the world Margaret Atwood introduced in her acclaimed book, "The Handmaid's Tale". A wonderful and inspiring work of literature, it is also being translated onto the television screen, a well deserved revival for a story so well done. I was excited to write a submission in the form of a short story that would branch from the world she'd designed. I hope you enjoy the read as much as I enjoyed writing it!
