The Wheel of Justice
The room was vast. In its centre, housed on a vertical axle, was a great wheel.
“What is it?” I asked.
“The Wheel of Justice,” he replied. “Two criminals: each chained to opposite sides of the wheel; each having first swallowed the key to the other’s freedom. Only one may leave here alive. The chains are just long enough to reach your opponent. If both move in the same direction,” he pushed the wheel which rotated with relative ease, “then justice can take days.”
“That’s not justice. It’s barbaric.” I cried.
“An interesting opinion,” he said, “coming from a human.”
