The Whisper Market

You could buy anything — as long as you paid with silence.

By GoldenSpeechPublished 3 months ago 1 min read

In an underground bazaar beneath Marrakesh, merchants sold forbidden things: lost memories, unborn dreams, laughter bottled like perfume.

But the currency was silence. You paid by never speaking again.

A scholar bought back his dead lover’s final words — and vanished mid-sentence.

Now, at night, people claim to hear faint whispers in the desert wind, reciting prices no one remembers.
