In the Penal Colony - gross story.
Glad you liked it tutmarie!
Now I better read those two shortstories...
The Judgement: The father sentences the son to death by drowning... and the son feels himself driven from the room - and finds a bridge and throws himself into the river. Of course...
In the Penal Colony: A very complex machine for execution of death sentences. And what at death sentence - it takes between six and twewle hours to be scribbled to death by the tiny knives/needles. After many hours shortly before death the condemned person can sort of read the rule which he has violated by feeling it on his body.
The condemned person is not told his crime before the execution - why bother him or the system by complicating things when the sentence is ireversible?!
