Broken Innocence [50 Word Story]

Paul swung the rock down on the chain with as much force as his restraints allowed. Twenty years in this hell-hole. He was innocent, dammit!
He swung again. Why didn’t they believe him?
One more strike. The chain broke at last.
He’d show them just how guilty he could be.

A man on a mission. Twenty years and an innocent man.. the scary thing is it does happen..
I love this story, @therosepatch! You put us right there in the drama of the situation, with a conflict and a satisfying resolution -- he's off to commit a crime after being jailed all this time even though he's innocent. Great irony!
@therosepatch you were flagged by a worthless gang of trolls, so, I gave you an upvote to counteract it! Enjoy!!
Wow! Drama, passion and intensity all wrapped up in fifty words. Incredible job!
