Summary
1984 au, starring Steve Rogers as Winston Smith.
--
Before Steve even put pen to paper, he was dead.
Not literally, of course, although with his growing list of ailments, it surely couldn't be long. But he was as good as dead, once he'd decided to keep the diary. He'd committed the worst of all crimes, the essential crime in which all other crime was contained: thoughtcrime.
"The chocolate ration was 30 yesterday," he wrote. "Today, it was raised to 25."
He looked at that for a while, trying to believe it. Doublethink. If only he could do that, if only he could really believe the ration had gone up, then he'd be happy. But he couldn't.
