A dystopia in another world, where words have the power of creation or destruction. I enjoyed exploring the rules of this community, for some meaning of enjoy at least - the part that really got me down was that children all lived separately and could only visit their parents on the weekends, and even then, hugging them or being too emotionally attached was frowned upon. It's also very surreal, I admit I didn't really understand the ending, but the first 80% was solid.
