Judgement. Has. Been. Passed.

I was in court. Well, a certain type of court. It was just me, and a Judge. I said to the Judge, "I'm here to defend myself." I was not allowed a lawyer, of course, nor was there a prosecuting attorney. Like I say, it was just me, and the Judge.
"You haven't a leg to stand on, because you have made so many mistakes. So, so many. Judgement has already been passed."
"But Judge, I have solutions and apologies!"
"Judgement has been passed, but to prolong your agony, I want you to clearly state these things, so as to extend your humiliation. I do not wish to close court. Judgement has been passed. But tell me these worthless things. You deserve nothing except more pain. You are a failure. Continue."
"Well Judge, I had a solution to the problem that bought me here. It's actually quite clever..."
"Now move on to the apologies."
"Uh, okay, but the solution is qui-"
"Move on to the apologies. Judgement has been passed."
"I'm very sorry. I cannot in any way apologize enough, but I'll be damn sure to give it a try. I'm so incredi-"
"Enough. Judgement has been passed."
"Well, Judge... okay, what now?"
"There is no "what now". Judgement has been passed."
"What is my punishment? How do I atone?"
"There is no punishment. No atonement. Judgement has been passed."
"So... can I go, then?"
"No. Judgement has been passed."
"So I have to stay. I cannot leave. I have no power to do anything at all. Is that fair to say?"
"Judgement has been passed. You cannot leave. You cannot atone. Judgement has been passed. You will stay. Judgement has been passed."
"So I'm stuck here? Is this my punishment?"
"No punishment. Therefore, no atonement. Judgement has been passed."
"Okay. Okay. Okay. I will sit. And I will wait."
"You have nothing to wait for. Nothing is waiting for you. Judgement has been passed."
"Now what?"


"You must endure this: Judgement. Has. Been. Passed.  Judgement. Has. Been. Passed.  Judgement. Has. Been. Passed.  Judgement. Has. Been. Passed.  Judgement. Has. Been. Passed.  Judgement. Has. Been. Passed-
