Like a Halloween executioner, I am about to decide the fate of the prisoner with slaps using my skeletal hands. The verdict, life or capital punishment, will depend on how he reacts to my blows: I will decide by slapping him. He is on his knees in front of me and I start hitting him harder and harder with both hands. His face turns red and I ask him how he declares himself: but the prisoner takes the Fifth and does not to answer, deferring to my decision. I continue without gloves to enjoy the sound of my hands on his cheeks, hitting with both the palm and the back until the prisoner begs for mercy. In the end I want to take one more day to think about it so put him back in the cage to await the verdict.
