Script
Here is a script about a historical event, within the 100-word limit: "Did you know that in the 1920s, there was a secret telephone network in the Soviet Union that only the elite could use? It was called the 'vertushka', and it was reserved for high-ranking officials and members of the Communist Party. The phones were black, rotary, and highly exclusive - only about 30,000 existed in the entire country. But here's the kicker: these phones were also bugged, so even the elite were being spied on! Guess you could say it was a 'party line' in more ways than one. What do you think - is this creepy or what?"
