Exposition: The story begins when Rick, an ex-cop wakes up, finding himself in an isolated chamber. His head throbs with pain and realizes he is handcuffed. Trembling in fear and hunger, he forces himself to sleep. As he sleeps there is a flash back taking him back to his incident.

Inciting Incident: It was just a normal day, some speed tickets and some paper work. Rick then receives a phone call from his wife who was screaming for help. and then dead silence. He rushes into his car and drives to his house. He takes his pistol out from his side belt and places the magazine inside. As Rick enters the house he finds his wife and he doesn't recognize tied up. Before he could untie his wife, he felt a crack on his skull. The next thing Rick knew was that his wife and the man was covered in a pool of blood. Both of them had died by a gun shot. and the gun used to shoot them, was his very own pistol. Charged with murder because of the killing of his wife and the man whom she had an affair with, was the death row. He was boiling with rage and wanted revenge to kill the person who had framed him.

Rising Action: Many of the other prisoners took their anger out on Rick because he used to be a cop. Each day his food was taken and he was constantly beaten by other criminals. A gang offers Rick an offer he could not refuse...freedom. They were planning on escaping the prison by force.

Climax: Rick awakens from his dream/flash back and remembers that today was the day to escape. (somehow they take the warden hostage, still thinking on how they do it) they force their way out of the prison. As the gang runs out to escape, Rick stays behind with the warden. the gang rushs out of the perimeter of the prison but waiting for them were prison guards. prison guards open fire with their pistols and kills all the gang members. Rick remains unhurt and takes the warden back to the prison. His rage and lust for revenge were too much. The next thing he saw was the warden, beaten to death by his own fists.

Falling Action: Rick falls on his knees and begins to weep. He regrets what he had done.

Resolution: He looks around the dead warden's body and finds a gun. Rick takes the gun and points it at his temple...

denouement: Rick was a character who decided to kill himself because he had broken his own morals. As a policemen, he obeys the laws and killing the warden had broken these rules. He had taken the life of someone who had nothing to do with his revenge. his own wanting for vengeance had led to his own death. The manifestation of revenge kept growing until he snapped. The warden represents the law, order and also Rick's moral. By killing the warden, he had killed his inner self.
