I woke up in a chair in a mostly dark courtroom with a light shining down on me in the chair and a light shining on each person who was sitting high above me looking down.
The judge's bench was in the center of the circular seating arrangement and on it sat the judge. He had long back curly hair and an expressionless face. He wore normal judges robes except they were a dark red. The rest of the people wore robes as well but they weren't as prestigious looking.
"ALL RISE!! The court of General Sessions Third Judicial Court is now in session. The honorable Judge McCallister is presiding." The person sitting next to the judge said.
I stood up. I knew what was going to happen and yet I was still nervous. I saw a single familiar face, Lead Elder Alfred Bader. Normally that would give me hope, but his facial expression said otherwise. It was dark and callous. Like a person looking at a bug in their home.
