Sounds somewhat not too far away in the future.
Tinpot dictators are everywhere. Rights are stripped as a matter of course. You wrote this very well. Karen

This short piece of well written flash fiction certainly had an unexpected ending but it made me feel that it could one day happen!! Everything costs money these days so speaking out could easily be pricey. Well done,

It seems that we are heading back to the day when you can pay for your sins in advance. What a wonderfully written story.
Good luck in the contest!
Have a great day, and God bless.

I don't think we are far from this at all, my friend. The politically correct are ruling the roost these days, unfortunately. Stellar flash with a jolt of reality.
Sending you my best today as always, and best wishes for the upcoming contest.

Thank you so much, Wendy:)

Iza, this is some well-done commentary. You have it labeled fiction. I assume because the character, Ms. Rose is fiction. Unfortunately, the story itself could certainly play out as nonfiction. A nicely done flash story. Terry.

I used the veil of fiction to hide my own feelings:)
Comment from Alexandra Trovato
Pathing back and forth
I think you meant to write pacing back and forth.
Otherwise, this is excellent work for the challenge. Your presentation is very good. You use expressive words and colorful imagery that will draw in a readers. If people aren't listening to you, keep discussing. That's what God offers to us when we pray. No matter what we've done, He offers us Mercy and His ear. If you want all hell to break lose, I think the devil would enjoy that. I hope you can find peace because that is up to you.
Best wishes,
Alexandra

Is pathing spelled incorrectly? Did you mean pacing? I'm lost in the context of this post. What society are you describing where a prisoner has to pay to speak? Sorry, I'm lost here.

Please tell me the first word of your story is NOT spelled wrong. Did you mean "pacing" back and forth?
The idea of your story is a good one, where citizens are charged a fee to be able to speak their mind. It sounds like a fantasy, horror story.
Suggestion: 10000 dollars should be written 10,000 dollars.

I think to physically restrain someone against their will is against the law, however if the human was going to do damage, I would do it anyway, heh heh, great post, good luck, blessings Roy
Typo : (Pathing) up and down. Pacing?
