The Cost of a Whisper
Manage episode 509115020 series 3553622
When a global "word tax" is imposed, citizens are allotted only a daily number of words. Speaking beyond the limit brings fines and ruin, while the wealthy buy exemptions.

The story explores censorship, inequality, and the human cost of enforced silence.
