The Crime

In one of Franz Kafka's short stories, "In the Penal Colony", crimes are punished by a machine carving the skin of the criminal with the name of the crime.
Guilty, your honor.

Powerful image Domenico. In the same line as the tattooing of innocent people in WWII in the concentration camps.

too powerful. I don't like to look at this too much.

[Annie D]

[Graeme Stevens]

[Lou Ann]

Well aren’t we all guilty of that crime?! This is a marvelous rendition of the challenge. Thought-provoking.

[Mike Gifford]

Spot-on for sure!

@overalvandaan thank you very much, Saxa! I don’t know if Kafka’s short story was pre- or post-war. Matter for thought, however.
@helenhall sorry, Helen! I did not intend to hurt anybody’s sensibility!
@annied thank you very much!
@graemestevens thanks a lot, always appreciated.
@louannwarren thNk you very much, Lou Ann! Many of us are, indeed! Many only on the surface...
@mikegifford thanks a lot!

@domenicododaro no need to apologise - I guess it shows the image has done its job
