Behind The Mask : A V For Vendetta Tale : Intro
Remember, remember, the fifth of November,
The gunpowder treason and plot.
I know of no reason why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.
I was always reminded of what happened that night, the fifth of November, 2020. The night Guy Fawke's plan to destroy Parliament came true. My mother told me of a man who made this all possible. A man who we should be thanking and blessing in our prayers. Thanks to him, we have our hope, our peace. Thanks to the man known only as V, we have our freedom.
I was born only 3 years after the great explosion, I only wish I could have been there, like my mother. She told me it was the most beautiful thing she had ever saw. Now, in a time free of tyranny and an all-powerful government, my mother and I live our lives to the fullest. Ever since my father died when I was young, we have moved away from London, mother says away from her memories. Of what, I wonder, that hurts her so.
I now live on my own, visiting mother as much as possible. I live in London again, loving every aspect of the city. I wanted mother to come with me, but she told me it was too hard, the memories hurt too much.
I am Anna Hammond, age 22, and my mother is Evey, Evey Hammond. I am here to tell you my part of the story, the story of V. No, he did not die in the explosion of parliament, for ideas are bulletproof...
