Dystopian Language Literature Worksheet
The Quiet Hour
At six o’clock, every screen in the city blinked blue. “The Quiet Hour begins now,” announced the Ministry. “For your safety, remain indoors and speak only when spoken to.” Mara lowered the volume on her radio. Behind the wall, someone was tapping a slow, uneven rhythm. Three taps. A pause. Two taps. She pressed her ear against the cold plaster. The towers outside her window stood in neat rows, their lights bright as watchful eyes. Even the moon seemed to have been scrubbed pale. On the radio, the announcer praised the city’s perfect calm. Mara looked at the cracked flowerpot on her sill. A green shoot had pushed through the dry soil. She tapped back: three taps, a pause, two taps. The reply came almost at once. Across the narrow courtyard, one window flickered—not blue, but warm gold. Mara smiled. The Quiet Hour was not quiet after all.
