Were I Human

Creative Writing
Kinross Wolaroi - Year 12
A society without intellectual curiosity and emotional tribulation is a society without humanity. As such, my dystopic short fiction 'Were I Human' is a warning of a society which has abandoned literature, representative of emotional curiosity and emotional recognition, and replaced it with the mind-numbing effects of social media and narcotics, explored through my protagonist Miranda. I aim to inspire reflection on the power of literature in validating emotion through the creation of my own ironic world, 鈥楾he City of Love: 2105鈥�, in which instant gratification is rife and true emotion little.
