\/\ BEGIN TRANSMISSION /\/

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.
