Behind Closed Doors

Daniel James Howell was an abomination.He knew this, had done since he was just fourteen years old, but he never thought he would ever be prosecuted for it. He had figured that no-one would know unless he told them, which had seemed simple enough.Unfortunately, life never works out quite how one imagines it.Which was probably why he was sitting in a cell in the police station.He was terrified, scared for his life.He tried to tell himself it would be alright, it’s just her word against mine, why would the court be more likely to believe her than they would me. But he knew they would. He knew how these trials went. All it took was for someone to say the word ‘homosexual’ and the law would believe them without question. It wasn’t at all fair, but then again, when was anything in life?
