If We Were Guilty

by Paul Durston

PC Charlie Quinlan. Ace thief taker. Childhood abuse victim.

Now her abusers are being killed.

In her childhood, Charlie’s mind created alternate identities (‘alters’), to shield her from the abuse. But is it those alters, who are now killing the abusers? The police can only see one person – Charlie. She’s the one they say is guilty.

Charged with murder and remanded in custody awaiting trial, Charlie and her alters know a jury is waiting for them in court.

If you were on that jury, would you find Charlie guilty?
