3. [WP] Jail Time

[WP] Jail Time

I'll admit what I did was wrong. I'm not the one who pulled the switch, though. The families of the bank employees that died 2 years ago want to put their worries to rest so they punish me for all those that hurt them.

I can't say I blame them since they weren't there. They couldn't know I was forced to participate. Regardless, here I am in custody of the Republic awaiting punishment I can't comprehend. They say its going to take my time away. Some kind of over funded byproduct of a Lockheed fusion drive or who the hell knows.. A type of aging field forms and I come out wasted, sunken, and impotent for my crimes. My life in the hands of a relativistic nightmare. I have no hope for recovery and I assume I will be dead soon.

They put me in a smock. A doctor removed metal fragments from my shoulder they'd never bothered helping me with before. Reporters were present, the families and the Chronocoupler techs. I suspend thought to protect myself from crippling fear. What is this going to leave me as? A Monster? As jelly? What pain am I to endure?

They walked me into the chamber. Metal clamps secured me to a seat. It was cold and rigid. The techs removed my slippers and set my feet into stirrups and secured me in the chair. I could hear the magnets start turning like an oversized MRI. I couldn't see anyone but I know they are watching me.

The machine starts to speed up and I can feel the fields pulling on my soul. I realized current traveled not just through the room but through my whole body from head to feet. I used all my strength to lift the pads of my feet from the metal stirrups. All of a sudden I could feel the current subside giving way to a white hot glow. I could now feel singing heat on my skin to the point it felt like it would fall off.

All of a sudden it stopped. The machine appeared to stop instantly. It was tattered and broken. My wrists were burned red from the cuffs. I managed to stand and sensing something went wrong I burst through the lab door. Everything, gone. A foundation was being built. A foundation to the prison I was just inside.
