Object Writing: Court-martial

Stoic, stern, with a dead-pan grin and an itch for punishment. An aid to the system of loop holes like rabbit warrens and unjust curtseys weakened only by the onus to hear a case. His polished leather shoes hide steel-capped feet pointed towards their next victim, an underaged innocent whose whole personality screams pigtails. Caught in the timber encrusted room, caged with an audience and an artist to capture the affair. Documents and files are spat with undue authority, slithering tales of guilt and duty on display, flung like faeces at a circus amongst the hoot of monkeys and the slam of a gavel. The sweet innocent child, petrified sand, quivering amongst the mess of brutal argument, desperate for the mum...

Hahahaha so I looked up court-martial after the fact KNOWING I did not quite understand the term before I started. Hahahaha, so maybe the innocent child seems out of place but hey, who knows. What a spectacular error. #noregrets
