ALESSIA PIEMONTE

Alessia Piemonte

Alessia 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 with 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The monologue you are about to read is unpublished, the editors of eYs Magazine decided to publish this little pearl which is taken from the fictional novel that Alessia is writing, the other side of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.

In the parallel dimension, no earthling has a house of their own, but rooms, inside this huge building that can be clearly seen from Denali, the highest peak of the great mountain range of the United States of America.

Human relationships, those “vis a vis” to be clear, hardly exist, digitization will take over everything and everyone, few will be the chosen ones to reproduce the human race, all strictly controlled, and locked up in sterile areas, unlike of other people. Short platonic encounters for the chosen ones deprived of the passionate dimension, women forced to conceive their children through artificial insemination.

No physical contact, the man will have to donate his semen to the woman who was destined for him and will never know the identity of the children who will be conceived.

In all this scenario, an ordinary day in a day of ordinary boredom in Whait is told to report to the headquarters in the Medical-Scientific Studies and Research area to check for a potential malfunction of his suit.

Malfunction of the suit? You may be wondering ...

Yes, you got it right, the clothes people wear are anything but normal items of clothing or just passively protect the body of the people of Linkast City, their suits, suits to be exact are special because they are able to communicate with the soul and the surrounding environment, actively protecting them from bacteria and viruses that dominate the Earth’s atmosphere.

During their life, the inhabitants of Linkast City develop their own personality and awareness, which, as we have said, will all be interactive and therefore will highlight the person through their own color tone. Whait even though she was in the awareness stagem, Whait still lacked a nuance of her own due to a mental dysfunction, which inhibited the characteristics of her suit.

The novel once described in the various scenarios of the dimension from which Whait comes, comes to life and focuses on her again and it will be discovered that her routine and her piloted life will be interrupted due to a hasty exit from the “trivial” building. and random” since along the way to get to the Headquarters located on the top floor, he finds the door to the roof open and.... she meets a boy who will try to harass her, Whait to escape from her attacker starts running and as soon as he reaches the edge of the building and seeing no way out, he will throw himself into the sea and suddenly find himself in our dimension.

Once out of the water completely naked, she will find herself in a completely different scenario ... a swimming pool with a beautiful sunset ...

A group of young people notice her....

Whait is shaken, disoriented and incredulous, she cannot imagine that that leap into the void caused a temporal ascension that took her to the present day, in the so to speak parallel dimension.

The experiences lived by Whait in our dimension during the novel will prove to be the same that she would have lived in the parallel dimension only in a different, non-mechanical way ...

She will find that the true colors of life will come from parties, from the toxic noise of music from the noise of people and will not be dictated by a suit, she will come out of a toxic relationship with her mind, from emotional breakdowns and all this will happen in a way. accelerated. She will discover a life worthy of a teenager like her, she will demonstrate in this dimension her total independence, Alessia describes in the course of the novel a character of the protagonist completely unexpected, strong, free of connections, of distractions, until she enters, I play the relationship with a peer named Gryson.

Gryson’s profile is of an insecure boy, a sick optimist they say, who deceives even his conscience and ‘the classic funny boy a clown, touchy but at the same time extremely caring, kind and sensitive, his joking way is to take lightly life Alessia will make us discover a lucid maturity in him.

Gryson associates with bad people and Whait will help him untie himself from bad company, he will unknowingly help her disconnect from the dimension he comes from by finding his right innate balance, Gryson will make him discover the wonders of the blue planet and all its frailties which for Whait are not taken for granted, in short, in him he will find a man when he least expects it, between mysteries and coincidences the relationship between

MONOLOGUE LINKED BY THE PAST

Hey ...

Hey ...

Yes you, I say you!

My name is Whait, bizarre name you may be thinking, but believe me it’s not random at all,

Do you want to know something? I have always seen white as a shade waiting to be dominated by a colored spectrum, I

have been waiting for so long for that infamous colored spectre that life flows away from me and I am always there motionless,

I know at school there is a lot of talk about me, maybe because I always know a little too much,

I learned to accept, to accept myself ...But then ... acceptance is not really my strong point, it will be for this reason that I am writing this monologue.

Let’s start from the basics,

Now take a deep breath!

Why am I saying this?

I bet the first thing that didn’t cross your mind is;

“I breathe all day involuntarily”

until now, you together with other people, will surely have breathed deeply, others have not, they are in a state of apnoea, why? I point out that the vast majority of people don’t think, who breathe involuntarily all day long.

Now think about the most important person in your life in your life, think of his face, his hair, Think that in this moment you have it in front of you, but you can’t hug her, smell her perfume, her voice.

Finally think of the sun,

think of the warmth of its rays

and all of a sudden ... nothing

you are visualizing a cloud covering it

feel the cold that has fallen down your body

Did I confuse you?

Really ...

try for a moment to see you again

While you’re feeling nostalgia, repentance, anger,

and now try to summarize them in one word

the reason why?

Why did you feel this way?

The answer is block !!!

You would like to collapse that block already, right?

That block makes you feel weak weak and defeated

Your actions even before your thoughts create this block ...

To be continued...
