"But I need to feel your sincere." I gave him a small nod before beginning.

"My names Kit Walker and I murdered my wife."

---------------------

(KITS POV!)

I paced up and down Thredson's office as soon as I had got there. Hopefully, Aiden got away in time before the headshrinker ratted us out to Jude. He finally entered with a "Kit, sorry to keep you waiting."

He opened his briefcase and took out a tape recorder, placing it on the table in front of me.

"Have you given thought to what we discussed last time?" He asked.

'I find myself in a bit of an ethical dilemma, Kit.'

He clasped his palms together whilst talking.

'If I deem you as sane, you will almost certainly go to the electric chair, but if I judge you unfit to stand trial, you'll be allowed to live out the rest of your days here.'

'So... What's the problem?'
I asked.

'The problem is, I don't think you're crazy,'
He spoke with authority. 'but I don't think your evil.'

'You think I'm innocent?'
I questioned.

'In some ways, yes.'
He answered. ''The innocent victim of a brutish society.'

'Which drove you to commit acts so terrible, so... antithetical to who you are.'

'As a person that your psyche concocted this elaborate fantasy about alien abduction to absolve you of your guilt.'

'No.' I shook my head.
'that's not true.'

'I believe it is.'
'But I also believe that your death at the hands of the state serves no moral purpose.'

'Listen to me very carefully, Kit,'
'I'm willing to lie to the courts in order to save your life, but only under one condition: that for the rest of our time together, you face the truth of what you've done.'

'If you can do that, I'll be able to leave here feeling I've done some good.'

'I already told you what happened'
I pleaded.
