Assistant executioner
A story I wrote a long time ago. Please let me know what you think.
Josh sat in a car as he watched Chrissy’s house. The sun had set barely an hour ago. As he sat there, he felt angry but pushed it down. Keep calm, he told himself. She’ll pay for what she did. You can let her have it when it happens. He gripped his steering wheel. I can’t believe that it’s come to this.
Josh could catch glimpses of Chrissy through her window. She her blond hair dart by brought back good memories as well as bad. Stay focus. Remember what she did, just don’t get emotional about it.
Soon she came out and went across her front yard walking towards her car. She grabbed the door handle when suddenly she was grabbed from behind. She tried to cry out, but a hand covered her mouth.
Josh pulled her struggling across the street. He knew from the times he visited her at home that her neighborhood was mostly populated by elderly residents who were usually in bed around sundown.
They reached the car he bought just for what he was about to do. He quickly opened the trunk and tossed her inside. Before she could cry out, he slammed the trunk shut and then got in the driver’s seat. It’s happening, thought Josh as he tried to contain his excitement. He then drove away.
Josh car arrived at a wooden area. He got out and quickly went over to the trunk. He stood there for a second and then took a deep breath.
Josh opened the trunk and Chrissy stared at him. “Josh,” she cried. “What’s going on!?”
You’ll see, Josh thought. He grabbed Chrissy and pulled her out of the trunk causing her to land on the ground.
Josh quickly slammed the trunk shut and reached down to grab Chrissy. She tried to crawl away, but he grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him.
Chrissy tried to get out from beneath him, but he held her down. She let out a loud scream. “That won’t help you out here,” said Josh. He started to pull her shirt up her body.
“What are you doing,” asked Chrissy in terror.
“Hold still,” ordered Josh.
Oh my god, thought Chrissy. He’s going to rape me! She screamed as she struggled with him.
Josh pinned her arms over her head and then reached down with one hand and pulled her shirt over her head. As he pulled on it, he saw that she was wearing a plain, white bra. He forced the shirt over her head. He’s going to suffocate me, thought Chrissy in terror.
Josh pulled her shirt over her thrashing arms and threw it away. Chrissy tried to claw at him, but he grabbed her wrists.
Pinning her hands over head again he reached down for the button of her jeans. “No,” screamed Chrissy. “No! Please no!”
“Shut up,” said Josh angrily.
Chrissy froze for a moment. As she laid there, Josh pulled her pants down to her knees. He then swung her around and grabbed one of her sneakers. It came off easily and he threw it away. He did the same to the other one.
Josh grabbed the tip of her left sock as Chrissy started to struggle again. He held her legs together and pulled the sock off followed by the other one.
Josh swung Chrissy back around. He grabbed the jeans pulled them off her legs which she was swinging about. As he pulled the jeans off, he got to his feet.
Chrissy started to crawl away, but Josh grabbed her leg and pulled him to her again. He saw that her panties matched her bra. Josh sat on her and then grabbed one wrist followed by the another. He brought them behind her back and held them with one hand as he reached into his pocket with the other. He pulled out a piece of rope and tied her hands with it. Chrissy let out a frighten cry as Josh rolled her to face him.
“What’s this about,” she asked.
“You know what this is about,” said Josh.
“I told you,” she said. “I didn’t cheat on you. I didn’t.”
“You’re lying,” said Josh angrily. She’s just like the rest.
Josh started to stand up and as he did so he pulled Chrissy up with him. He spun her around. “Walk,” he ordered.
She started to move forward. Josh grabbed her arm to guide her and then went into the woods.
They came to a clearing. Chrissy stopped in terror. For a moment, she didn’t understand what she was seeing but she then realized that, hanging from a tree, was a noose. Beneath it was a barrel.
“No,” she cried. “No! No!” She tried to run away but Josh grabbed her. He dragged her towards the noose.
She kicked and twisted in his grasp. He held on and pulled her to the barrel. He lifted her up and stepped on to a rock he placed nearby earlier. He pulled her up on to the barrel. She tried to jump from it, but he wrapped his arm around hers. He grabbed her hair and then pulled out his other arm before grabbing the noose. He slid it over her head though she tried to flop about like a fish. He kept her steady with the hold he had on her hair.
“No,” screamed Chrissy. “Please don’t! I told you I didn’t do it! Somebody help! Help! Help me please!”
Josh tighten the noose around her neck. He then stepped down from the rock and walked around to in front of her.
Looking up at her Josh wasn’t sure what he was feeling. “Anything to say?”
Chrissy looked at him with tears brimming in her eyes. “Please, Josh. Don’t do this. I . . . love you.”
“No, you don’t,” said Josh. He kicked the barrel from beneath her feet.
Chrissy dropped towards the ground. The noose tighten, stopping her from saying anything else. Her fall was stopped, and she was pulled upward for a bit. She twisted and turned as she bounced for a few moments. Choking sounds escaped her mouth. She kicked out wildly with her legs as if trying to bring the barrel back underneath her.
Josh watched as Chrissy continued to twist and turned for about a minute. She pulled at the rope binding her hands, but they were too strong. Her mind was a panicked fury. She thrashed about with everything that she could. Her feet kicked towards the ground as if desperately trying to reach it. Chrissy spun about as she struggled, the ropes biting into her wrists and neck. A minute passed and the struggling slowed down. Suddenly she started thrashing wildly again. After a few seconds, her movements began to slow again. They stopped and after a moment started up again. This happened again and one more time. After stopping they started up again, but they were more like twitches. Her body spasm for a few seconds and then stopped. Her whole body then relaxed and went limb. She was dead.
Josh looked at her for over a minute. She’s gone. He felt relief and a mean joy go through him. He stood there for a few moments. She’s just the first. Josh went over to cut her down.
