Joseph stood in front of a judge, about to be sentenced. He was being tried for murder. It wasn't like this was new, he had killed once before. Only this time he didn't do what was said.
Sadly, the judge didn't care, as he was friends with the victim. So to say this was fair would be saying Hitler was a good man. But Joseph stood straight, no fear in his eyes and no shake in his body. That was his policy, always had been. "Joseph Craig, you will be executed. Next week." The Judge stood, and Joseph was led out in handcuffs.
In the next week Joseph was taunted by dirty cops, the judge, and himself. His only friend was a fellow inmate known as Blade. He hated his name, as did Joseph. One day they were playing chess and Blade spoke up, "So why you in here, Eminem?" Eminem, Joseph's new nickname, was the name Blade used to describe him. "Was accused of killing Alexandra Craig, my wife. You?" Joseph moved his knight. "I raped three women, at least so they said." Blade followed the action with motion of his Queen. Joseph looked up at the man, sympathy in his eyes.
"I know how you feel. Sorry." Suddenly, the cell opened and Joseph was pulled out. The police took him to an outside wall, where he was attacked by others, then they all stepped back. A man in a green leather jacket stood in front of him with a 12 gauge shotgun in hand. "Sorry we lied. No, I ain't." The gun rested on Joseph's head and the trigger was pulled.
