Dystopian heroine narrator: Sadie

Dystopian heroine narrator, restrained, suppressed, and resolute

Prompt: A cold, controlled female dystopian-heroine-narrator voice that narrates rebellion against a perfect nightmare. Her even alto describes a regimented world and a spark of defiance with restrained intensity, treating freedom as a forbidden, precious thing. There's suppressed fire and rising resolve in her tone. The voice of the dystopian resistance drama. They told us we were happy. For a long time, I believed them. Then I remembered what happy was supposed to feel like.

Script: We were happy. The directorate told us so every morning, in the calm voice that came through every wall. And what reason did we have to doubt it? We were fed, we were safe. We were assigned our purpose, our partner, our permitted joys.
