Is good too Tree.Different view…
Laetitia is on the scaffold and already has a noose around her neck when I am brought up the stairs. Logic says ‘run’ but I have no idea where I am, I am naked, and handcuffed! The floor beneath me wobbles as I walk onto the trapdoor. Before me the noose that will kill me sways wanting my neck.

A guard holds my arm as the executioner pulls the rope over my head then pulls the noose closed around my neck. My ‘exotic vacation’ reaches a new high or perhaps a new low.

There is no escape from this now. This was to be a vacation and now I stand on a gallows. My ankles are shackled, my wrists wiggle in cuffs behind my back, and a rough rope chafes around my neck. There is no hope for a reprieve from this horrible joke. There is no phone in the room so there will be no life-sparing call. I am about to hang for carrying an envelope to this damn town! Laetitia says “I’m sorry I brought you into this but at least it will be over quick.”

Fucking great! My vacation is going to end with a quick snap of my neck. The executioner walks over to the levers and says “Watch Laetitia, Barb, so you know what expect.”
“I’m sorry I got you into this Barb. Forgive me!”
“Of course, I forgive you, Laetitia. It’s not your fault. We were betrayed somehow. But we will die proudly. We shall swing together and show them no fear” I reply. What the hell was that? If I could reach her I would choke the bitch!
Behind me the executioner asks “Who shall go first; Laetitia or her American toy?”

She pulls a lever and Laetitia drops 60 cm before the rope breaks her fall. I am not sure I feel the trapdoor drop from below my feet but I know I am about to choke to death…

Sorry for the interruption…

I was interested in Barb's interpretation, as I've never done a story with text. And would never interfere with its interpretation.
Its interesting to note that when I "wrote" the story in 3D, in my head, The role of the "boss persecutor" was the woman who pulls the lever.
Barb makes the boss persecutor, the woman in the white shirt. Both work equally well.
