Week 8, Title: She went quietly, she didn't make a sound

[swirlsofblue]

Sierra watches their silent gestures- a secret language borne of this place. And she watches as those who do speak are beaten and broken.

She watches as some plan, with half aborted motions and determined facial expressions. And watches as those who escape are dragged back and shot.

She watches people dying of disease, of starvation, of cold.

This was wonderful! Your descriptions are so concrete, and you conjure up a true hell. Having to re-swallow the recorder was a great touch. Even if the truth gets published, I wonder what effect it would have in a society that can allow even the sanitized version of these camps to exist. Great use of the topic.

Thank you, so glad you liked the descriptions :).

True, but it's also which aspects of the society it has different affects on. Especially the powered people still out there.

Soooooooooo dark. You're doing a great job painting in all the shadows of your story. This entry is very shadowed and quite hopeless. Even with the recorder, one feels that this cause may not be won.

Thank you, so glad you're liking the way I'm painting it :).

That is a hellish way to get the truth out, but a brave one. If your own life has no hope, the choice to make sure it helps those who follow afterward really matters.

Thank you :)

Yeah, true :)
