Ashes of Defiance
In a world where ideas were as dangerous as weapons, Lena cradled the last book in existence. The Thought Police were coming.
The Last Book
Lena is seated on the floor of a dimly lit room, cradling an ancient, leather-bound book with trembling hands. The room has bare, concrete walls with a single, small window casting a faint light. She looks around anxiously, knowing the danger she's in. Her eyes are wide with a mix of fear and determination as she gazes at the book.

Breaking In
The door is violently kicked open by the Thought Police. They are dressed in dark uniforms with black visors covering their faces, making them appear menacing and anonymous. Dust and splinters fly from the door as it crashes against the wall. The figures are imposing, casting long shadows.
The Thought Police kicked down her door.
Ashes to Ashes
Lena watches in horror as the book burns to ashes in her hands. She stands defenseless, the glowing embers lighting up her face. The Thought Police are just entering the room, their visors reflecting the flames. Lena's eyes show a mix of shock and determination.
The book burned to ashes in her hands as the Thought Police approached.
Confiscation
One of the Thought Police officers, with a cold, expressionless stance, takes the still-warm ashes from Lena's hands. Lena grins defiantly, a spark of rebellion in her eyes. The other officers stand menacingly behind. The tension between them is palpable as Lena realizes the battle for ideas is far from over.
'Ideas can't be burned,' she whispered as she was dragged away.
