I am led up the gallows' steps. The guard does not seem interested I find the climb difficult.

On the platform I stand next ti the thick rope the noose is made with. My crimes are read and did I detect a hint of joy when the warden proclaimed I 'will be hanged by your neck until you are dead'?

An nun stands behind me. I say to her "Just drop me and get this over with."
She calmly explains "You don't understand. It will take a few minutes for you to die. We have to put a hood over your head so no one can see your eyes when they are bulging while you choke to death. Don't worry. You will kick and thrash while the noose strangles you. I wonder if you piss while you are still alive or that waits until you are dead."

The hood is pulled over my head and the noose is tightened around the cloth. The noon bell rings over the courtyard. When it stops they will hang me. Damn, I have to pee already!

The bell stops ringing and a lever is pulled to release the trapdoor. I drop a few feet before my head is jerked. I stare into the hood and fight not to pee.

They can execute my but I will die with whatever dignity I can muster...
The sound of creaking rope. Tremendous pressure on my throat! My legs feel strange and heavy. I sense I am being hauled upwards. I am being hanged! I am hanging from a gallows!
I am surrounded by a soft white light, with beautiful glowing colors. A warm yellow sun is shining.
Trapdoor sprung, All good. Head tilted in ideal position. Normal struggling.
"Keep your legs still, honey! And focus on your breathing!"
Warmth envelops me.
"Here, let me make you properly swing..."
Gentle push and the slight swinging of the body reduces the level of struggling, as expected.
I am swimming in a sea of warm oil. It feels exquisite.
She strokes my buttocks. "Yeeees... That's it, darling. That's the proper way to hang."
Very little struggling. Hands relaxed. Regular hissing and puffing sounds from under the hood.
Perfect slow strangulation.
In the distance, an island. I continue swimming through the deliciously warm oily substance.
She firmly slaps my buttocks. "Come, it's time for you to let yourself go. Start kicking!"
Promptly the tied legs start going up and down. Hissing and puffing sounds growing more frequent.
"Yeah, work on that breathing!"
Legs pumping now. Excellent endurance.
"What a show, dear, what a show! I can see how much you are enjoying yourself at the end of your rope!
Oveall struggling increasing. Fists start closing and opening irregularly.
Respiratory activity more strained, but still good puffing.
"You're such a beautiful sight at the end of your rope, dear. So wonderful!"
Struggling now growing irregular. Shaking and trembling movements. Legs stopped pumping. Slowly being drawn up.
Static posture now with knees drawn up to sitting position. Absolutely beautiful posture. Trembling. No struggling. Respiratory activity very weak and strained.
