The Handmaid

I became interested in this new Handmaid. She came to Commander Fred's household only but a month ago, yet she seemed to blend in with her role that it seems as if the last maid have never disappeared. She is transparent; it is almost as if she did not exist. Going against the rules, I recently tried to be friendly and open to her. I whistled to her as she was going to go shop the other day. Even more risky, I nudged her foot during the reading of the Ceremony. She backs away and further shells up away from me every time I try to open to her. I wonder if Offred is a true believer, but then realize she could not for she did not report my actions. I desperately want to talk to the Handmaid and develop a relationship. She seems like an interesting person, if only she would open up to me as I would to her.

An Average Day

Today is like any other. Routine after routine after routine. As a Guardian, it is my duty to protect the people we are assigned. We are to keep order in the new, strict society. I work for Commander Fred as his personal driver, body guard, and handyman. Today I would drive him around, wash his car, and other minor tasks that require my strength. Even though we are not supposed to, I try to interact with the Handmaid of the household. I am attracted to her beauty that I will never have from any woman due to the society today. In the end, I desire to be promoted to an Angel or even an Eye. From there, I would just hope to get a high ranking position and retire as a Commander. Then, I could develop the relation I please.
