(This is a first draft of a novel written as part of NaNoWriMo throughout November 2017.  The content will be added to and extended daily in November)
    Description:
    
    If somebody accidentally killed your husband, would you want him dead? Or as your slave?
    
    If you are young and free, would you prefer a lifetime of slavery with no hope of remission, or a quick death?
    
    Are you sure?
    
    In the world of 2022, the punishment for all crimes is decided by the victim or their family. Prisons are full. The death penalty is an option, or the family can take the convict as a slave in compensation. 
    
    A moment of frustration changes a young man's life forever. Living a destructive, drug and alcohol-fuelled life, his escalating aggression leads to an unintentional crime and a life of serfdom.
    
    Toiling on the quiet family farm he begins to understand who he is and tries to atone for his past. As time passes, his relationship with the daughter of the family brings him a sense of peace he has never found before.
    
    When this is callously ended, the full inhumanity of his sentence hits him and he teeters on returning to his old nihilistic and hedonistic ways.All Rights Reserved
