A Prison in the Woods

Hagen's life was a series of ridiculous accusations, punishments, and eventual absolutions.

He had never really done anything wrong, (except be mildly irritating, due to his pessimistic nature, which was not unfounded, and his ridiculous amount of insight into people's thoughts and emotions,) but he was the perfect Patsy.

No one knew him, as he kept to himself, and those who knew of him thought of him as a quiet, private man who did not speak often; when he did speak, it was usually something incredibly insightful, to the irritation or chagrin or downright shame of whom he spoke. Mercy and Shame were emotions he lacked, and his insights often made others either jealous or paranoid of him, that he might reveal their deceits and falsehoods, and thus the endless stream of False Accusations that were eventually proven to be erroneous, though usually only after a good portion of the punishments for whatever crimes he'd allegedly committed.

This time, however, he faces a Court that does not deal in Half Measures.

There are no Prisons in the Woods.
