Page 4 - Motherless World Class A G1

Preface

In the sprawling city of New-nesia, a place governed by promises of eternal youth and
artificial order, life has taken on a darker meaning. Here, there are no children, no future
generations to carry forth family names or inherit the wisdom of those who came before.
Society’s elite, fueled by their quest for immortality, have eliminated the very idea of birth,
decreeing that children are unnecessary in a world that will never age. But beneath the smooth
surface of endless youth, shadows linger—a silent question unasked, a wound unhealed.

Motherless World is a journey into this controlled, childless society through the eyes of
Javi, a policeman who has served the government for years, upholding its strict rules without
question. But when Javi meets Abigaile, a brave and curious child who has survived in secret,
he is forced to confront the uncomfortable truths about the world he serves. Abigaile becomes
a spark in the darkness, awakening a deeply buried humanity in Javi and igniting doubts about
his purpose and loyalty. Her innocence and courage compel him to question what it truly means
to live and protect, and ultimately, to love.

The story explores timeless themes of power, sacrifice, and hope, asking what humanity
becomes when it turns against its own nature. Throughout the narrative, concepts from
language and translation studies—such as locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary acts—
enrich the dialogue, showing how meaning and intent can shift and how even familiar words
can lose their power when manipulated. Animal metaphors and proverbs add layers of cultural
symbolism, reminding us that language shapes our perceptions, even in a society designed to
erase individuality.

In a world that has forsaken life’s natural cycles, Motherless World examines what it
means to be human, to confront fear, and to choose one’s path, even when that path leads
against everything once held as true. This is a tale of resilience and rediscovery in a world that
has forgotten the importance of generations, asking us to remember that while we may seek
control over life, life itself cannot—and should not—be contained.
