The situation at the university has only gotten worse. Though they no longer demand a weekly list of names, it is not due to clemency; rather, they have run out of people to arrest.
Remember how we scoffed at the absurdity of the Party when it first appeared?
Now it is dangerous to even think such things.
The worst of it is that Rosa was taken. They had the audacity to come for her at her office, during business hours.
You would have been so proud of her, standing tall and straight and silent as the tomb.

History. Real history. No fiction at all. Your message is sharp. Brilliant. But what has it got to do with the photo prompt?
A picture like this? A jar on a table can mean anything. An empty office, perhaps.
History, or Tea Party?
Who allowed police to enter in the University? Is it not out of bounds to police?
A Totalitarian government heeds no rules but their own, Abhijit.
Love your take on this …

I had to look up Pogrom, how awful, does this relate to American race riots of the 60’s? or more recent
Really good. More powerful somehow for being written as a letter.
This is a great take on the prompt. So much packed in here.
I love how you’ve responded to the picture. It’s scary that such situations can exist.
Very poignant message. Thank you.
Beautifully written, portraying a horrible period in someone’s history. I immediately thought of Communist Russia, but that’s not the only place where such things have happened.
An excellent “view” of the prompt. Somehow I saw the weekly list of names coming out of the jar. Why not? The whole progrom thing was random. Well done.
Succinct and perfectly told. Nice one
