The Conscious Objection

By David Newstead, S.A. Borders-Shoemaker, S.A. Borders-Shoemaker

Life inside the Bureau is safe, secure, and prosperous, an achievement Charles R. Bloomington is proud of and seeks to protect. Yet, not everyone sees it in an ideal light. Born inside of the Bureau, Eleana longs for a life of difference and struggles with the values of bodily and mental perfection imposed on the population. Her rebellious inclinations produce one successful escape; only to be later recaptured and brought back. As Charles seeks to effectively treat her symptomatic disdain for authority and return her to the fold as a fully functioning citizen, Eleana plots an unconventional uprising to dismantle the toxic system in play. All the while, the Bureau's higher authorities begin to perceive Eleana and her allies as existential threats. Before long, everything as Charles and Eleana know it will be flung into chaos, challenging their initial perceptions and the consequences reverberating far and wide.
