Summary
Escape isn’t always a border crossing.
Sometimes it’s a decision.
Sometimes it’s survival.
Sometimes it’s learning how to live again after the running stops.While editing You Change Me, a new idea took hold—an alternate universe escape story set in the world of The Handmaid’s Tale.
In Gilead, escape usually means one thing: running. Running from an authoritarian regime, from its laws, its violence, and the ever-present threat of the Wall. But escape can take many forms, and not all of them are as dramatic as slipping across a border in the dead of night.
This story begins with a desperate flight from Gilead, but the deeper journey is about what it means to truly break free—from fear and guilt, and to fully understand what true rebellion looks like.
The shadow of Gilead looms large,
Because even after you escape Gilead…
Gilead doesn’t let go.As always, I don’t own The Handmaid’s Tale. I’m just a fan who enjoys writing stories with some of my favorite literary characters.
