Cover made by me but credit to ONLYMEAGAIN for the image that I used.
I sat on the hard, springy bed as she took off the bandages on my head. It seemed to take forever. Once she got them off, I heard her gasp. The picture must have looked gruesome.
The more I learned about myself, the more I learned it doesn't take an entire society to carry out oppression.
A short story inspired by themes of Margaret Atwood's A Handmaid's Tale.
#MyHandmaidsTale

Too early? Too early.
Enjoy, here's my second entry! I think it's better than the first one, but whatever!
