I am so jealous of your Powerpoint presentation, Dana. I am trying to recreate something I saw once two weeks ago and it's making me want to kill someone even more than usual.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
You wish you had a Powerpoint presentation!
I wish I had lunch. Stupid clock, move faster!

Sounds like actual imprisonment to me. False imprisonment would be if you said the door was locked, but it actually wasn't and they could really leave anytime.
No, false imprisonment is actual imprisonment without any right to do so under the law. The "false" part is not having the right to do so. Your example of lying to someone about whether or not they were imprisoned could constitute false imprisonment if it was reasonable that the "prisoner" would believe the door was locked.

Thanks for the workers' comp help.
If you need any more help my brother is a worker's comp attorney in NC. I could pass on questions to him.

But also very, VERY cute!
Police charged pop singer Boy George with false imprisonment on Tuesday after he allegedly chained a man to a wall at his London home.

That's what I was going to say. If you can't leave of your own volition, that sounds like real imprisonment.

I bet Playboy would give you a root.

Though possibly not a husband.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Maybe someone else's husband.
