Scream in Silence

Write a story where the protagonist is mute, but must save themselves from an unspeakable horror.

Perception plays a significant role in horror, and having a protagonist who can’t vocally express their fear or call for help adds an extra layer of terror to the story. How does the protagonist communicate or take action? What strategies do they use to survive? This prompt encourages exploration of alternative communication, resilience, and the primal basics of fear.
