STORY STARTER

You have been accused of a crime you did not commit. After a strong case against you, it is your last chance to speak to the jury and convince them that you are, in fact, innocent.

Think about the kind of emotive language that might sway people's opinion.

Liquid Pain

One night at a bar, I took a drink from a glass

Realized it was alcohol, and became an ass

Blacked out and fell, and tripped on my feet

Stumbling and crying, alone in the dark street

Then I found myself, with a knife by my side

Wiped off the silver, the blood I thought dried

The bright blue lights came, and drove me away

Making sure I didn’t see the light, of the next day

The judge did yell, and threw the book at thee

Why didn’t anyone listen, or care about me

I paid the hefty, high placed necessary bail

Walked home, with a huge tear, and a wail

It seems that night, someone else had a drink

Took a mate to that street, had time to think

About his plan, to put that bloody knife, near me

But someone saw him, and by that I was set free
