Talk? What was this man saying? Of course, I couldn’t talk. Thinkers couldn't talk. It was never seen. Or done before

“TALK YOU SLIMEBAG!” I heard the man say again,

He yelled so loud I thought the room would break on our heads.The man was scaring me so I tried. I opened my mouth and forced my throat to make sounds. It hurt so much. I could feel the noises coming out but I couldn't hear them. Soon small squeaky sounds emerged from my mouth.

“NOW TELL ME IF YOU HAVE SEEN THIS MAN!?” the talker yelled,

“NO, NO I HAVEN’T LEAVE ME ALONE!” I screamed back,

The sound was all cracked and my voice was strained but I did it. I could talk. I was a talker now. I didn’t have time to ponder on it as the man slammed his fist on the table in front of me and yelled,

“NOT UNTIL YOU TELL US! WE SAW YOU WITH HIM!”

It was much louder this time and the small light on top of us swayed a bit.

“NO, I HAVEN'T! I HAVEN’T! I’VE NEVER SEEN HIM!” I yelled,

I could feel warm tears running down my face. My throat hurt so much. It felt like I was being stabbed in the same place over and over again.

‘Sir, calm down. You are scaring her. She won't cooperate if she is fearful.” A talker behind me said,

I wanted to look at his face but it was covered in a black bag.

“Hmm, you raise a good point I do think we need to calm down. Let me ask you one more time or else that person behind you is going to start smashing your head to bits,” he said one last time.

I knew I had to say something this time. I valued my life and needed to keep living.

“Fine, I saw the person…on the road…yesterday. I just assumed he was a worker,” I hoped I had created a good lie.

“Let er go,” The man said after pondering for a few minutes.

What about my voice? Was I going to become a talker now? I wanted answers but I knew I wouldn’t get any.

“And make sure to never say a word…” was the last thing I heard before something was smashed over my head.

I woke up outside the machine closet still disoriented. I didn’t know what happened or why but I continued like normal walking home pretending I had been dismissed early.

When I got to my apartment stack I unlocked and pushed open the white door to my apartment and on the beige couch was the man from the photo.

Instead of sending a message through my thoughts I pointed and screamed

“YOU!”
