YOUNG AND AMBITIOUS
ALESSIA PIEMONTE
A
lessia Piemonte born in 2005 is a young Italian student, currently attends a professional school with a specialization in Art and Entertainment, she has always written for passion and her stories range between reality and fantasy. She was the winner for two consecutive years of two film competitions “A book to be recommended” and “Binario 21” (remember the shoa) through a video. Alessia treats narrative art as something more “ornamental” rather than necessary, something with which to make reading more enjoyable to make known an event, one’s history or how a society evolves in this case ... and then let’s face it, it is almost impossible in fact to present oneself to the world if not narrating oneself. The monologue you are about to read is unpublished, the editors of eYs Magazine decided to publish this little pearl which is taken from the fictional novel that Alessia is writing, the other side of contemporary reality, a leap into a decidedly embarrassing dimension.

In Alessia drawer of desires there is a goal, to be able to publish her novel and why not in the future it could also become a plot of a film. Powerful, profound, disconcerting text by a teenager who looks in the direction of future generations, a text that echoes several questions; “What is” good and evil for our civilization “really for today? What is our real mistake? Could it be that we haven’t defended ourselves enough? That we have not exposed or listened to the real reasons for a culture in free descent between consumerism and digitization? Alessia will open a window on another dimension of our fragile blue planet by telling the story of Whait the very young girl protagonist of this incredible fictional novel, the description of an announced catastrophe and the fate of the protagonist not entirely rosy due to the innumerable unimaginable catastrophic scenarios ... so
much so that mankind, animal and plant in the original dimension of Whait will be forced to live indoors in a huge building for obvious safety reasons, LINKAST CITY the name of this abominable reinforced concrete structure. Linkast City takes its name from the acronym “LINKED BY THE PASS” synonymous with shelter from heavy acid rain, from a threatening sea due to violent tsunamis and massive solar radiation. The survivors will be just under half of the people who populated the United States of America of the parallel dimension (our current dimension). A reality different from our present that we could define apocalyptic, the citizens of Linkast City almost do not distinguish themselves from each other because they wear a white suit, complete with a mask that covers most of the face. In the distance you will be able to see only tiny islands of crystal or what remains of the huge skyscrapers that only a century ago left you breathless by how majestic.
