Dystopian monologue: Leonardo

Dystopian monologue, restrained, defiant, and resolute

Prompt: A cold, controlled male dystopian-monologue voice delivering a rebel's final testament. His even baritone moves through defiance and sacrifice with restrained fire, the tone of a man who has chosen resistance knowing it will cost him everything. There's suppressed passion and iron resolve in his tone. The voice of the resistance monologue. They can take my life. They've taken everything else. But they cannot take the thing I've already given away—to all of you.

Script: By the time you hear this, I'll be gone. They'll have taken me the way they take everyone who remembers how to say no; quietly, in the night, with no trial and no record and no grave. And they'll tell you I was a criminal, a liar.
