The Freedom Thief
The power to control others
The bill was sitting on his desk. The governing body had passed it. This bill will indeed limit all freedoms in the name of greater power. The people need to understand how to live properly and need excellent knowledge of the government. I could be the ultimate leader with no recourse to my actions. They were told that this would provide safety for everyone but not told their personal freedoms would disappear. The plan was established so long ago to make the people ignorant of their rights slowly. We brainwashed them in schools and let the older generation die. Promise after promise that we never kept, but yet they follow still. We even demonized our rivals with the plans we were going to impose. The public bought it entirely. Now I sit in power going to sign this bill to dismantle all the freedoms this place has fought for since the beginning. Everyone will cower with the pressure to pass this to start. We will be the ones to make this work and make it work right. The first thing is to shut down our rivals, then the drains of society. Next will be the undesirables. I signed it gladly.

The Jewel Theft
Ted gracefully eyed the Jepsen Jewel on display. It was the largest of its kind, and its luster was breathtaking. So, he looked at the cameras and the security to scout the place early. His disguise worked as he continued to the case without alerting the guards. He quietly slipped to the back while the guard was turned around. Only to wait till the time to swap. The crowds thinned, and the lights dimmed as Ted sat still in the background. Slowly the cameras were cut out. Ted came out of the shadows eyeing the precious Jewel. Pulling the glass-cutting tool out of his pocket. Slowly cutting the glass and temporarily shorting the electricity. He reached gently into the case and replaced the Jewel with a fake one. His hand held the priceless Jewel in his hands. His eyes glittered at its beauty, and he carefully placed it in a bag. He picked up his tools, and Jewel packed them away. Back in the shadows to hide for his escape and before the cameras turn on. He felt a gun in his back. A cop said, “You are under arrest for theft of the Jepsen Jewel.” Ted had been caught.

Muses & Musings
Welcome to my new series, a weekly blog on what’s inspiring me. I spent much of last week in bed with a stomach bug. I’ll spare you the details of that—but in addition to the grotesque physical symptoms, I had some fever dreams I won’t soon forget. Imagine my surprise to see Vocal’s newest challenge: Write a fiction story about a recurring dream or nightmare.

Is this under fiction???
This is powerful. Sounds much like the maga (GOP) movement in the US. They are banning books, banning trans people from serving in the army, taking over Disneyworld, etc. Well written!!!
seems like something that could happen in the USA
That is the Tories in the UK, GOP in the USA and is the ultimate aim of every government owned by corporations. Great statement
Nicely written.
