People do not disappear. I don't think, at least I don't need to try This is the way things are. I cannot get to sleep. They're not working, the factories make my decisions for me This is the way things are. The party is not faulted. I can't see, the people dance to the atrophy This is the way things are. They stuck it in my arm. I can feel, the drugs make me happy for now? This is the way things are. Thank God for- This is...the...the way things are... thud |

This was given to me by a friend, though I've no clue how he was able to get it while it was under lock-down. It was written by A. Tkac, who was arrested earlier this week by the IOF [link]
I don't know what to make of it. The lines can all mean upwards of four things depending on how they are read. If you read it straight, it's the rantings of a converted submissive. However, if you disregard punctuation, the lines mean entirely different things. It becomes a message of resistance. Then, if you combine lines together to form an even longer sentence, it seems to fight even harder. Still, even with these messages, there's no reason this should go unheard. -Think harder. |

 reports, 1d 15h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.57 WE.LOVE.ART.FEATURE.VII.HOLIDAY.SPECIAL.~allieweasley

Theres so much between those lines, your friend is quite the writer
I wrote them both. I have a huge interest in the idea of distopian governments (a la 1984) and am writing a short story set in the world that this takes place. This was basically creating backstory.
In any event, this is one of the best compliments I've received. Thank you, it's stuff like this that gets me to keep writing, as I am an immortality whore.

I don't get it.
But i tend to be disappointed by most modern dystopic literature which seems to be an endless repetition of recycled ideas...we dont seem to be willing or able to push our imagines to encompass systems that are yet to be or that our in our face right now...the only dystopia that still works is the christian specific dystopia and the occasional surprise like Fight Club...even the nature or environmentalist dystopics have run out of juice...
I don't know, maybe i haven't been reading enough of the genre lately. I guess what im saying is try experimenting...this genre is too good to go down in dust because of lack of creativity.

It's getting hard to keep up, but I'd say the industry is evolving fast enough to stay fresh.
Thanks for the comments on my work, too.
