Banned Books Broadened.

When we thought of the Challenge, "Write the first chapter to the sequel of your favorite banned book," we agreed that the entries might be few compared to the other Challenges, but they would be things worth reckoning with.

Not to end that sentence with a preposition, but in formal attire it looked pretentious.

The level of writing, and the love for the books from which the work was spun, is purely beautiful.

At the time of recording the video, there were four entries.

Mavia leads the feature with a take on, 'To Kill a Mockingbird,' that is so well-written, it would earn a begrudging grin from Harper Lee, herself.

WhiteWolfe32 follows with '1985,' which is perfect, in so many ways. Absolutely took Orwell’s baby into a 2023 contrast, in the narrator's opinion.

That leads into FarrellTimlake's 'Herd of Pigs,' where a prologue to the sequel of, 'Lord of the Flies,' is written with an airy wonder of sorts, above the weight of itself.

Number four is by Ferryman, with 'Whiskey & Iron," his take on 'The Gunslinger,' currently banned somewhere in Florida. Interesting. He tells the tale in his style, dust and smoke and fear and fate intact.
