Underpinning

Underpinning

A man sets out to try to confess a grave deed he did not do. He wants to do it because in his life one day deserves another, because he would rather implicate himself than continue in the same fashion. Procedurally speaking, he wants to see how far things will go. His wish is to be first seared by injustice, just to confirm his own loathing of others later, until one day he feels content and good about himself, enough to claim that feeling for himself as the new law.
