    I haven’t read it, but I understand the premise. I realise the person who voices the sentiment in the title literally has no mouth but must scream, but I feel like it could apply figuratively. Like “I have no mouth because the State took my ability to communicate online, and I want to rage about the way things are going, now that they finally affect me, but I have no means to do so.” Like it’s saying, speak up while you still can. I might be missing some nuance from the story, but again, I haven’t read it.

    Wikipedia says it’s only 6500 words, so it would not take long to read it. The short story the film Predestination is based on is shorter or about the same length. The short story the November Rain video is based on (Without You by… I forget the guy’s name…) is about that same length. I can read those in under 10 minutes.
