The final adjustments to the 15^th edition of the Newspeak dictionary are being done as we speak. Would you guess the last words we just deleted? Realationship, family, and community. Crazy, right?! Now anything that has to do with the relation between two humans or objects is described as Indoc. Big Brother’s creation is now the summation of the bond between humans. And that is highly accurate too. Big brother is constantly in our midst, moderating and guiding our lives through his influence over us… I mean we willingly involve him in our life to share in the joy he created. That sounds better.

            But as I approach the last few moments of completion, I have contemplating what I should do next. Where does a man trained to love language work once language is destroyed? Will Big Brother carry me on to the Ficton Department perhaps? Maybe I will get to work with the Pornosec.           

            Or not, what if I have no purpose? What if I have reached my ultimate usefulness and I am suddenly obsolete? The need to destroy words has been destroyed making the destroyer of words destroyable. What if I can no longer be who I am?
