Sir please believe me I’m innocent the culprit still walks free

************

“What have you done Mr Hart, now the boss is paying for your crimes” a voice was heard through the door “ I know that’s why we should keep this a se...” “Who is there”

**************

“There you go this is what you deserve for exploiting your fellow human” The Warner said and threw him a thorny pillow. “Thank you” Mr Hedgewot said.

THE VOW

Mr Hedgewot vowed he was going to make Mr Hart pay for what he had done and that he was going to count his days out for that would make him remember all what he would pass through for he would double it for him.

He said no one would save him from what he would encounter at his release.

THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS

Mr Hedgewot was locked out of the world no visitation or calls only him his cell and the other criminal. A calendar would be to obvious to the guard so he decided he would use tallies beside his tiny iron bed with an inch wide foam.

He used tally to keep record till his 100thday the inspe day the day the state governor was to inspect the building and its facilities. He was assigned to the outside work and while doing it others where assigned to repainting the walls.

The bell rang Time To Get Ready

They all left to dress up upon getting to his room to mark his tally for the day.....

IT WAS ALL GONE

Every last tally gone new paint scents filled the air more strongly than when he entered. The room was getting smaller and smaller the air gone from existence DARKNESS

“He is alright, I think he had a panic attack”.

“I wonder why”

He woke up

“Mr Hedgewot are you feeling better, do you mind telling me what happened you were out cold in your cell from a suspected panic attack”.

“I don’t know what happened i felt like everything was on top me after I discovered that my tally was gone”

“Sir my advice to you is that such little things should not affect you this much because the next time this happens I don’t know if we would be able to save you”

“ok thank you goodbye“

**cell door opens**

my tally all gone why me I’m so unlucky now I’ll have to accept everything thrown at me horrible real horrible

THE RELEASE

after 5 years he was finally released he was older than how he was to get out he had forgotten about his vow he had a shady memory all because he couldn’t keep track his very existence was In shatters but what could he do he remembered nothing he had no money except the money the police officer at the gate put in his hand as a mockery he walked towards the bus station and boarded a bus to the only place he had not forgotten

THE OUTSIDE

On getting there Mr Hart was seating in his seat obviously forgotten he was coming out that day. It was at the sight his memory came dashing back to him he walked over and punched him right in the nose and threw him right out and ordered for an audit of while he was away for before he left he told a staff to audit while he was gone little did Mr Hart know that the police were waiting outside.

when the audit arrived it was discovered that while he was gone exploitation continued and that obviously meant it could not have been him the proof was enough the police walked in right on tim and Mr Hart was arrested and charged to court.

FINAL VERDICT

The court sentenced Mr Hart to an imprisonment till futher notice for putting the innocent behind bars and for misleading the court and the court is going to pay Mr Hedgewot the fine he had payed with more compensation from the court for his time in prison.

Almost immediately Mr Hedgewot fainted. It’s over he mumbled and fell unconscious.

The doctor said he was lacking food and energy so he would slump into a coma for some days no one should panic.

Mr Hedgewot got better and resumed his work having enough money to boost his business skyward and given the opportunity to start all over he took it with all his heart.
