Some people journal.
Some people meditate.
Some even read the morning fake news like it’s scripture.
Today, I woke up and committed three thoughtcrimes before coffee:
– “If I say no... do I get arrested or just strongly worded mail?”
– “What if... legal doesn’t mean lawful?”
– “I could... build a trust, a rain barrel, and an alibi.”
They sound harmless.
But they’re flammable.
This is the prequel to every quiet Exit:
The “No.” Thoughtcrime
The “What if…” Thoughtcrime
And the “I could…” Thoughtcrime
Each tiny “no” shortens your time in captivity.
Each quiet “what if” rewrites a rule you never agreed to.
Each honest “I could” downgrades their control to a shrug-level suggestion.
Eventually:
The thoughtcrimes stack high enough to see over the wall… and lo-and-behold: The EXIT sign, duct-taped to a chicken (or a Tower Garden, a silver coin, your local barter network, or a laminated trust document — exits come in all shapes, usually taped together with audacity and a prayer).
Consider this your reminder:
A few morning mental stretches, a dash of thoughtcrime cardio — and suddenly you’re breaching containment.
If your thoughts have started to feel like contraband…
If you like saying no, what if, and I could...
Good.
That’s step one.
Step two?
Not a club. Not a camp.
Just this: pass it on.
Because thoughtcrime multiplies faster when it’s smuggled.
Now let's keep moving,

P.S.
Turns out, thoughtcrime burns calories AND illusions.
P.P.S.
Next letter leaks at 10:42 Exit Time. Same banned frequency. Same tinfoil wrapping. Different thoughtcrime.
