Chpt 9: Irregular Apocalyse

Scene: The year, 2034, the place, a small town in the country of Newland. The local population gathered to hear the words of a charismatic young man.

He steps forward. In the background, his wife and children hold each other. The evening air is still, the crowd has gathered willingly, but knowing that what they do, what they listen to, what they think, is illegal.

My fellow souls of Newland,

Today, here amidst the rolling hills and open skies, I see not faces in a crowd, but hearts burdened by the weight of a world gone astray. We’ve known a time when dreams soared like birds in flight, when the promise of a better tomorrow danced in our eyes. Yet, we find ourselves trapped, ensnared in a web spun by those who claim to know what’s best for us.

It’s been generations since the laughter of children echoed freely, since families stood strong against the storms of life. We were told that unity comes from conformity, that strength lies in surrendering our individual voices to the collective chorus. But what have we gained? Our homes are fragments, our voices echoes of what they once were, and our spirits are adrift.

Look around you. Feel the earth beneath your feet and the wind on your skin. These are the simple truths that the weight of bureaucracy cannot erase. Our stories, our struggles, they’re etched in every wrinkle of this land, in every calloused hand that has tilled this soil. It’s time to reclaim our narrative, to remember that we’re not pawns in a game played by others, but the authors of our own destiny.

Our currency has become a cruel joke, a shadow of what money should be. They tell us it’s progress, that it’s the way forward, but it’s a hollow promise. Our pockets might be lighter, but our hearts grow heavy with the knowledge that the sweat of our labor is no longer a measure of our worth. We’ve studied the lessons of history, the dangers of unchecked inflation, and it’s time we break free from this cycle.

I’ve seen the spark of rebellion in your eyes, a longing for a life that’s truly ours. I’ve felt the pain of our collective struggle, the stories of families torn apart, of dreams crushed under the weight of false promises. But I’ve also read the words of ancient philosophers who whispered their wisdom across the ages, reminding us that our minds are sovereign, that our spirits are unbreakable.

My friends, it’s not just about economics, it’s about the very essence of our humanity. Our voices, our thoughts, they are the treasures that no regime can steal from us. They might have built walls around our minds, but the foundation of those walls is built on lies. Let us be the architects of our own liberation, dismantling the barriers that have kept us from truly living.

I know the road ahead is daunting, and the path to change is often paved with sacrifice. But remember, it’s in the darkest moments that stars shine the brightest. We are not alone in this struggle. We are united by our dreams, by our shared determination to reclaim what has been taken from us.

So, let us cast aside the chains of misinformation and embrace the power of our own thoughts. Let us stand up, not as a horde, but as individuals bound by a common purpose. Let us build a Newland where families thrive, where ideas flourish, and where the sweat of our brows is met with the rewards of our labor.

In this quiet corner of the world, let our voices rise like the wind, carrying the promise of change to every corner. Let us redefine what it means to be free, to be human. The journey will be hard, but together, we can rewrite the story of Newland and make it a tale of resilience, of triumph against all odds.

Thank you

The crowd falls silent, not for lack of fervour or eagerness to begin, but because drawing more attention to themselves is dangerous.

For now, they filter back to their shared accommodation, the words of the orator still fresh in their minds. Here, they think, is hope, and understanding, is a focal point we can rally around.

The sun sets on one day, but a new day is dawning soon.

End Scene. Fadout.
