Paul swung the rock down on the chain with as much force as his restraints allowed. Twenty years in this hell-hole. He was innocent, dammit!
He swung again. Why didn’t they believe him?
One more strike. The chain broke at last.
He’d show them just how guilty he could be.

I love this story, @therosepatch! You put us right there in the drama of the situation, with a conflict and a satisfying resolution -- he's off to commit a crime after being jailed all this time even though he's innocent. Great irony!
