Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-28718853-20200101150526/@comment-34818102-20200103034329

I sit at my desk, shocked by the news. I had never thought that my own son would break the laws that I upheld. I find myself standing up and looking at my assistant. "I wish to speak with him, alone."

The assistant frowns at my words. "Sir, don't try to give him pre-" He starts, before I cut him off.

"Have I ever wavered in my duty before? I don't intend to start now because my son has made a grave error!" I say, before leaving to go and see my son. When I reach the cell he's in, he averts his gaze, unable to look at me.

"I hope you know that I may be fired for this." I say, before I open his cell. "This is all I will do for you. If you hadn't been a good son up to this day, I would have consigned you to the pit like all the others." I say, and before he can get a word in, I leave.

I returned to my office, left to hope that I don't lose my position, and that my son has the sense to leave the country if he wants to consort with the Sabbath.
