Book-A-Minute SF/F


The Handmaid's Tale

By Margaret Atwood

Ultra-Condensed by David J. Parker


Offred
I've got a name, but I won't ever tell it to you.
Commander
I get to do Offred once a month, but I'd rather play Scrabble with her instead.
Nick
I don't even get to play Scrabble with her. That sucks.
Ofglen
(dies)
Ofglen
Ofglen is dead.
(There is a good speculative fiction story going until the END, which is INANE and LITERARY, because it is ILLEGAL for a work of LITERATURE to have CLOSURE.)
