Reading Time: 13 minutes The Circle had replaced education with indoctrination, molding children into obedient servants while their parents, exhausted and compliant, looked on. The older generation—the faithful voting bloc—had long since dismissed any concerns. Their own children had grown up in a different time, so why should they care? Schools, social programs, the greater good—it was all “socialist nonsense” unless it served the Black Circle. And now, the next generation didn’t even know they were enslaved.

Reading Time: 4 minutesThe Ministry of Truth was born in plain sight. It started with a simple announcement—the Chairman’s administration would handpick which media outlets could participate in the presidential press pool. They called it “restoring power to the American people,” but in reality, it was a purge. Critics were silenced, dissenting voices erased.

Reading Time: 9 minutesPeople weren’t afraid. They were asleep. The Chairman’s rule wasn’t about brute force; it was about exhaustion, apathy, and distraction. Every day, a new outrage. Every week, a new enemy. And people adjusted. They stopped expecting things to make sense. By the time they realized what had happened, it was too late—easier to just go back to sleep.

Reading Time: 4 minutesThe food changed slowly. First, the brands disappeared. Then, the prices rose beyond reach. When the rations came, no one questioned where they came from—only that they were the only thing left to eat.

Reading Time: 8 minutesCora sat motionless on the cold floor, the glow of her dying phone screen casting hollow shadows on her face. Around her, the walls were lined with propaganda—slogans of obedience, the Chairman’s ever-smiling portrait, the promise of a future that would never come.
