'An Innocent Man Betrayed By Guilt' - Story Chain #4 You're The Writer and 100 Whaleshares for the Winner Update

Steemit Story Chain #4 - Update

There is only a couple more days left until Steemit Story Chain #4 closes - An Innocent Man Betrayed By Guilt. We have had four entries so far and they have been awesome. Thank you to those that have already contributed to the story. Don't forget there is a prize of 100 Whaleshares for the writer of the most creative, original and ambitious part of the story. That's currently a helpful $18 boost to one of your posts.

With only two days left it is still not too late to write a part of the story. So why not show us your creative writing skills and give it a go. Me and the very talented @nikflossus will be judging the winning entry. A reminder of what we are looking for.

• A strong sense of imagination
• Creative intelligence
• Originality
• Narrative fluidity (ensuring the story chain links smoothly)
• Use of language, grammar and syntax (we need to understand what you're saying!)

To remind you of how the story for Story Chain #4 began, the original part I wrote is featured below. However, be sure to check the original post to see how the story has developed and continue the story there.

Here I was sat in the public gallery of the courtroom. A free man. And there he stood, in the dock. The man I knew to be innocent. A man who I could prove was innocent, yet I'd said nothing all along. The police never once questioned me. Even though I was the man who should be on trial and standing in that dock. I was the one who had done it, not this poor guy. They had got the wrong man, thankfully. They had framed this man for murder when they knew damn well it wasn't. If he was found guilty I would feel bad, very bad. But it is extremely important my work continues. The jury enter, they sit. The Clerk stands, 'Would madame foreman of the jury please rise?' she says authoritatively. A pretty and petite middle age lady stands. The Clerk asks, 'Have you reached a verdict upon which all of you are agreed?'. 'Yes' she says. The Clerk continues, 'On the count of murder laid before Michael Anthony Simpson how do you find the defendant, guilty or not guilty?'
