My voice was obstructed by my own hands gripping my throat with‚ what I could only assume‚ inhuman force. My vision began to blur‚ a tinge of inviting darkness engulfing me. Before long I lost the urge to breath and succumbed to asphyxia. Where am I? My eyes strained under the blinding sunlight that illuminated the court room with a banana hue.
