There is a society where the government limits the amount of words you can say. You have a watch like counter on your wrist. They gave it to you when you turn 10. It has been three years since Tacie has gotten hers. Tacie is given about 20 words to say each day. She has been totally silent for those three years. She learned sign language to talk to her family. She has not said one word to anyone else. And then she goes viral.

PREQUEL/SEQUEL about my two books HATRED and AGAIN, please go read them before this one, if you don't, you won't understand this book. - One of the random girls spits over the silence, "You're not special y/n." I lean forward, "I'm sorry, who are you?!" - I turn around, immediately seeing her hands trying to touch his chest, I click my mouth, strolling my way towards her. "Touch him one more time and I'm dropping a log on your scruffy bitch face." I spoke with a smile on my face. - "Have you ever had love where everything feels like a puzzle. Where nothing matters to you. Where you can feel free to be at your lowest or highest with them. That's what it feels like between me and Gally, I feel complete."

The Silent Melody
The world is loud. There are those who make no sound. Billions of people on the planet, some make no sound, some hear no sounds, and some don't see what's making the sound. Humans take their voice for granted, they don't realize what it's like not to be able to say what you're thinking. Humans don't realize what it's like not to be able to listen to the world. They don't realize what it's like not to be able to look at the stars and see the beauty in the sky. I can see, I can hear, but what I can't do is speak for myself. My own silence is deafening. *Pardon my word choice.* I've never been able to speak, as soon as I was able I was sent to learn ASL (American Sign Language). I was then sent to regular public school and I love it, the sounds of the students talking. Being able to be a regular person, well, as close to regular as I can be without talking. My name is Rosalyn, I've never breathed a word. Silence is easy when all you can give are ASL signs and not many people understand them. I'm just like everyone else. I have a celebrity crush. I have a favorite book (It's Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen). I have a favorite color (It's a silvery blue). I have a story to tell just like you. I get made fun of because I can't speak. People yell at me thinking that because I'm mute I'm also deaf. This is my silent melody, the song of my soul.Complete
