Searching for Utopia
The only Utopia that exists is the one you create.
Utopia. A perfect world. The place where everyone will be an equal. Where men don’t create the lives of others, but instead they live their own lives and make the most out of them.
That’s all she wants.
Her town destroyed, her body clinging desperately to life, Leila vows revenge on the Kingdom that took her love away from her. She keeps herself occupied nursing the men, women, and children of other exiled towns that were bombed, and decides to join in the siege to destroy the king—amidst her anguish. The night of their ambush, things go very wrong for the Exiles. Leila finally finds one of the things she has been searching for, but it’s not as she expects, and she finds out something that changes her life forever.

Does Utopia really exist out there or is it something that we make ourselves?
Spend a few hours with Leila, the main character. Learn of her story, her past and her future through her letters to her missing lover, Dorian. Dream with her of a perfect life where all people are equal, does it exist? Can we get there or is it out of reach?
This is a well-written and thought provoking short story written by Holly Jayne. She takes us to a fantasy world were discrimination is even more random than in our own world, and leads us on a journey with the main character in a search for Utopia, or that perfect place were all people are equal. The question is does that place exist out there somewhere, or is it a place that we need to make a reality.
The course of the story is only a few hours in the day of the life of Leila, but yet you find yourself understanding her whole life. The trials, the heartache and the sorrows. It gives you pause and reason to think on what she is dreaming of and working towards.
This story will entertain you, and challenge you at the same time.
