Chapter 1
William awoke, feeling very awful. He opened his eyes and he was in a dark room. He couldn't focus on anything. He also had a bad headache which throbbed lightly but still noticeably. He was still in his grey work suit, although his tie was gone, and the top few buttons of his white shirt was undone. One of the first few things that he noticed is that he did not wake up in his bed. "Oh, No, I didn't fall asleep in that alley again did I?" Obviously that event happened often enough for it to be at the top of his mind. He managed to get his eyes focused on the dark room he was in. He realised that he was in a chair.
He tried to move his arms but couldn't. He then tried moving his legs, but they would not budge. They were shackled to the chair. He started frantically pulling hard. He was panicking. This lasted for about three minutes, when he decided that he had to calm himself down. He was still feeling a little hazy when he regained his composure. 'I have to figure out where I am' he thought to himself. He looked around the dark room. He had more then enough time to allow his eyes to adjust to the dark. The room seemed bare except for the seat. His hands were chained to an armrest, his fingers touched something that felt like a key pad, and something was directly in front of him.
Suddenly a blinding light filled the room. The light above him had turned on. Then a deep Mans Voice filled the room. "Hello, William." It said. William looked and saw that there was a P.A in the room. "For three years, you have opened yourself to corruption. You have gotten many people off the hook even when they have clearly been guilty. Do you know how many hours of torment you have put victims and their families through just because your one of the greatest debaters alive. Well today I will put you in the defendants chair. You are in the chair of unimaginable horrors that I can set off at any time. You will have one hour to argue your case. You will have to convince me that I should let you live. If you are able to do that, I will give you the code to enter into the keypad under your fingers. That will then release you and you will be free to go. Oh yes and I know how great of an argument you can put up, so you must not say umm or anything incomprehensible in your argument. You will also be prodded in your side every five minutes and you must not make a sound. You are good at getting clearly guilty criminals off the hook but can you do it when it is you yourself who is put up on the spot? Let the case begin".
