PART 8

by LovelyMay — Part 8 begins with the protagonist stepping into a world untouched by authority or routine, where the morning light replaces the command of a bell. The warmth of the sun, the rustle of trees, and the unpredictability of the wild create a powerful sense of rebirth. Each moment is fully owned, not prescribed. Gone are the schedules and tasks of the collective world. In their place is a newfound pleasure in simply existing—stretching limbs freely, breathing in untamed air, and moving through nature without…

PART 7

by LovelyMay — Part 7 begins with Equality 7-2521 alone in the forest, free but carrying the emotional weight of rejection. The dawn had brought him hope, yet the day unraveled into disappointment. He had expected the World Council of Scholars to receive his invention with awe. Instead, they recoiled, alarmed that a mere Street Sweeper dared to challenge their collective authority. Their fear wasn’t of the glass box itself, but of the truth it represented—that brilliance could arise from outside their rigid system.…

PART FIVE

by LovelyMay — Part 5 begins with a moment of discovery that forever alters the narrator’s path. Working alone in the tunnel, away from the rigid supervision of the city’s authorities, they manage to unlock a force long forgotten. It is not born from fire or stone but from the quiet cooperation of metal and wire. The moment the current flows and the wire glows red, they see something sacred—light born not of flint or sun, but from the hands of one mind pursuing knowledge. It fills them with awe. In that brief glow,…

PART 4

by LovelyMay — Part 4 begins with a blazing sky that paints the world in unfamiliar hues, casting an intense glow over the quiet fields. On this strange afternoon, amid the hush of distant laborers, Liberty 5-3000 appears alone by the hedges. Her stance is patient, almost deliberate, as if she'd been waiting for that very moment. Her eyes, which once held firm restraint, seem softer now, more open to the words we dare to share. In that quiet, we speak what we have held for many days. We call her the Golden One, not with…

PART 3

by LovelyMay — Part 3 begins as Equality 7-2521 documents a shift that will forever mark his separation from the world he once accepted. His fascination begins not with rebellion, but with honest curiosity—an observation so small that others might have missed it: a frog's leg twitched when touched by metal. That single movement triggers a cascade of questions he cannot ignore. Forbidden to ask, but driven to learn, he begins testing materials, mixing copper with zinc in brine, and watching patterns emerge. The spark,…

To him, she becomes "the Golden One," a name that lives in his thoughts, whispered only in silence. Although words are forbidden between them, their…

Story

Anthem

by LovelyMay — Anthem by Ayn Rand is a dystopian novella set in a collectivist future where individuality and personal choice are forbidden. The story follows Equality 7-2521, a young man who dares to think differently in a society that values conformity above all else. Defying strict societal norms, he rediscovers the concept of "I" and embarks on a journey toward personal freedom and self-discovery. Through poetic prose and a thought-provoking narrative, Rand explores themes of identity, independence, and the triumph of the human spirit against oppressive systems.
