Ted Wall, A Story of Sin

“Today, we are to speak about Lust.” She spoke with such a presence that her physical nature was nowhere close to matching. “Lust can come in many forms, whether it be a physical lust for flesh, a mental lust for knowledge, or an emotional lust for power or control, it acts as one of the deadliest of sins. The ability to see is a fundamental sense of being able to carry out everyday life, but Lust has the power to blind even the keenest of sight. Lust is where we begin this trial of Ted Wall, and The Circle, you may begin,” the last words rang in the theater, and no one spoke or stood until she was gone. Then, a projector screen slid down in front of us, and the trial began. As the generic countdown on the film began to run, I quickly shuffled over to Marilyn. “What happens now?” I became a bit frantic, as seconds ticked. “You do nothing. Each side is able to present their most lustful moment of your life, serving as a good thing and a bad thing, and a decision will follow,” before I could respond to what she shed light on, the past came to life. My heart seized, and my eyes took in my life, all over again.
