In Silence, They Whisper

The residents of a remote town stop speaking altogether after a gruesome murder. The only communication they share with outsiders is a cryptic warning: “Silence will protect you”.

The isolation of the town, the gruesome nature of the crime, and the sudden collective silence form the baseline of this eerie narrative. The killing is to be examined with very few clues, and the saying ‘Silence will protect you’ hangs heavily, whispering the dangers that lie in the seclusion. This prompt can look into the fear of unknown, power of silence and the lengths communities will go to safeguard their secrets.
