___No Great Execution Ends Without Death___
Tiffany hangs at the busy crossroads, her petite, toned body stretched taut on the wooden beams of the cross. Nails pierce her wrists and feet, pinning her in place, while sweat glistens on her bare skin under the midday sun. Her long brown hair clings to her damp forehead, and her chest rises and falls rapidly with every labored breath. Between her legs, the sharp, angled cornu looms menacingly, a constant reminder that any movement could force the unforgiving pole to invade her most intimate place.
Her heart pounds in her chest, not just from the pain but from the humiliation and strange excitement of being so utterly exposed. People pass by in a hurry—some casting quick glances, others openly ogling her naked, suffering body. No one stops for long, though, leaving her feeling both overwhelmed by their stares and utterly alone in her agony.
Then, she hears familiar voices.
“Tiff, you poor thing! Look at you, up there!” Sarah calls out, her cheerful tone cutting through Tiffany’s haze of pain.
Tiffany blinks through tears to see her best friend strolling toward her, arm-in-arm with Bob, their mutual friend, and Sarah’s boyfriend, Daniel. They’re grinning, completely at ease, as though they’ve stumbled upon her sunbathing instead of dying.
“Oh God, Sarah! I’m so glad to see you,” Tiffany whispers, her voice hoarse from hours of screaming earlier.
“Of course, we’d come by! What kind of friends would we be if we didn’t visit you on your big day?” Sarah says with a giggle, standing in front of the cross and tilting her head to get a better look.
Daniel whistles low. “Damn, Tiff. You’re looking fine up there. Never seen you naked before, but I gotta say, you’re killing it.”
“Literally,” Bob adds with a snicker, shoving his hands into his pockets.
“Guys, this isn’t funny! I’m dying!” Tiffany protests, though her cheeks flush at their attention.
“We know, babe, but look on the bright side,” Sarah says, twirling a strand of her blonde hair around her finger. “You’ve got the best view in town, and you’re the star of the show! Everyone’s talking about you. You’re famous!”
“I don’t want to be famous! I just want to get down! Please, help me!” Tiffany pleads, writhing slightly against the cross. The movement makes the cornu press threateningly against her anus, and she freezes, biting back a gasp.
“Whoa there, careful!” Daniel says, pointing. “That thing looks like it’s ready to, uh, make itself at home if you’re not careful. You don’t want to give the crowd an extra show, do you?”
Tiffany glares at him, tears streaming down her face. “Shut up, Daniel! This isn’t a joke!”
“Aw, don’t cry, Tiff,” Sarah says, reaching out to pat her shin. “You’ll ruin your makeup. Oh wait, you’re not wearing any. Guess that’s for the best, huh? Less to streak.”
Bob chuckles. “Yeah, and anyway, you look great all natural. Just sweat and suffering—very primal.”
“God, you’re both assholes,” Tiffany mutters, her voice cracking as she shifts slightly to ease the ache in her shoulders.
“We brought water! Want some?” Sarah asks brightly, holding up a bottle.
“Yes, please! Oh, thank God!” Tiffany gasps, nodding eagerly.
“Oops, hold on,” Sarah says, unscrewing the cap. “Daniel, should I just splash it on her, or what?”
“No, give her a sip, babe,” Daniel says, rolling his eyes. “She’s not a dog. Though... she does look pretty obedient up there.”
Sarah giggles and holds the bottle to Tiffany’s lips. The cool water trickles into her mouth, and she moans softly in relief.
“Thanks, Sarah. That... really helps,” Tiffany murmurs.
“Anything for you, sweetie,” Sarah replies with a grin. “Though I have to say, it’s a bit surreal seeing you like this. I mean, who knew cheating on an exam could land you here? Professor Lascelles is savage!”
“Savage? She’s insane!” Tiffany snaps, her voice trembling with both anger and fear. “This punishment is insane! Look at me! I’m naked, nailed, and dying at a crossroads!”
“Yeah, but you did cheat, Tiff,” Bob says with a shrug. “Actions have consequences, y’know?”
“Screw you, Bob!”
“Not likely,” he quips, smirking. “You’re a little tied up right now.”
Daniel bursts out laughing, and even Sarah can’t suppress a giggle. Tiffany groans, her head falling back against the wood.
“You’re all horrible,” she mutters, her body trembling with exhaustion.
“Oh, come on, Tiff, lighten up!” Sarah says, poking her in the side. “You’ve got a killer sense of humor—don’t let it die with you.”
Tiffany bites her lip, suppressing a sob. “I hate you all,” she whispers, but there’s no real venom in her words.
“We love you too, babe,” Sarah says sweetly, blowing her a kiss.
As the three continue to banter, Tiffany’s pain and humiliation are briefly overshadowed by their absurd, morbid humor.
Despite herself, she feels a strange warmth at their presence, even as she inches closer to her inevitable demise.
Yes, her death, unavoidable since the nails were driven into her young body. She tries to recall her situation. The unbearable heat of the sun beats down on her exposed skin, making every inch of her petite, naked body glisten with sweat. The sharp pressure of the cornu just below her ass keeps her acutely aware of every movement—if she dares to lower herself even slightly, the cruel pole will stretch her open, forcing its way inside her tender, vulnerable anus. The thought alone sends waves of dread—and an unsettling flicker of something else—through her trembling frame.
Sarah, Daniel, and Bob seem oblivious to her suffering as they stand in front of her, chatting casually and tossing out their endless stream of jokes.
“I mean, damn, Tiff, look at you!” Daniel exclaims, giving her an exaggerated once-over. “If I didn’t know better, I’d think you were auditioning for some hardcore porn shoot instead of, you know... slowly dying.”
Bob snickers. “Yeah, like, ‘Nailed & Nude: The Crucifixion Chronicles’ or something. You’d make a killing, Tiff!”
Sarah playfully slaps Bob’s arm. “Oh my God, you guys are so gross! She’s our friend!” She pauses, tilting her head as she eyes Tiffany’s sweat-soaked, trembling body. “Though... I mean, they’re not wrong. You do look kind of... hot, Tiff. In a tragic, doomed sort of way.”
Tiffany groans, her cheeks flushing with a mix of humiliation and anger. “Could you all stop talking about me like that? I’m dying here! Literally!”
“We know, babe, we know,” Sarah says with a grin, brushing a strand of blonde hair from her face. “But you’re dying so... gracefully, you know? Like, if I were up there, I’d probably look like a sweaty, screaming mess. But you? You’re like a crucified goddess or something.”
Daniel nods enthusiastically. “Yeah, she’s got that perfect mix of suffering and sex appeal. Like, your tits are just the right size for this, you know? Perky enough to catch attention but not so big that they look out of place on the cross.”
“Daniel!” Sarah snaps, her tone sharp but her expression more amused than angry.
“What? I’m just being honest! I mean, look at her!” Daniel gestures to Tiffany, who glares at him through her tears.
“God, you’re all terrible,” Tiffany mutters, squirming slightly against the cross. The movement sends a jolt of pain through her nailed wrists and feet, and she gasps, biting her lip to keep from crying out. The cornu shifts ominously below her, brushing against her anus, and she freezes in place, her whole body tensing.
Bob leans closer, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. “Careful there, Tiff. That pole looks like it’s just waiting for you to slip. I mean, I don’t blame it—you’ve got a damn cute ass.”
“Bob, I swear to God, if I could move my hands right now, I’d punch you in the face,” Tiffany growls, her voice trembling.
Sarah laughs, crossing her arms over her chest. “Honestly, I don’t know why you’re so worked up, Tiff. At least you’re getting compliments! Most girls would kill for this kind of attention.”
“Most girls would kill to not be nailed naked to a cross in the first place!” Tiffany snaps back, her voice cracking with frustration.
Daniel shrugs, grinning. “Well, sure, but not every girl could pull it off like you do. You’ve got the whole ‘sexy martyr’ thing down pat.”
“She does, doesn’t she?” Sarah says, her tone light but her expression just a touch annoyed. “I mean, it’s almost unfair how good she looks, even like this. It’s like... leave some hotness for the rest of us, you know?”
“Relax, babe,” Daniel says, throwing an arm around Sarah’s shoulders. “She’s only got a couple of days left, tops. Then it’s all you.”
Bob nods in agreement. “Yeah, Sarah. No need to be jealous of a soon-to-be corpse. Though, gotta say, Tiff, you’ve set the bar pretty high. When they bury you, they should add ‘World’s Hottest Crucified Girl’ to your tombstone.”
Tiffany lets out a strangled laugh, though it quickly turns into a pained groan. “You guys are unbelievable. You’re just standing there, making jokes while I’m... while I’m... God, I’m so scared...”
Sarah’s smile softens slightly, and she reaches out to squeeze Tiffany’s ankle. “Hey, it’s okay, Tiff. We’re here for you. You’re not alone, okay?”
“Yeah,” Daniel adds, his tone surprisingly gentle. “We’ll stay with you as long as we can. You’ve got this, Tiff. Just... hang in there.”
Bob snickers. “Pun intended?”
“Totally,” Daniel replies with a wink.
Despite herself, Tiffany lets out a weak chuckle, tears streaming down her face. For a moment, the fear and agony seem just a little more bearable.
“You guys are the worst,” she murmurs, her voice trembling. “But... thank you. For being here. It helps.”
“Anytime, babe,” Sarah says, blowing her a kiss. “Now, how about we get you a little more water? Don’t want you dying of dehydration before the cross does its job.”
“Yeah, wouldn’t want to rob the cornu of its big moment,” Bob adds with a grin, earning him another glare from Tiffany.
Their mix of humor and horror creates a strange sense of normalcy, and Tiffany in fact doesn’t know if being grateful for that of get angry for not receiving proper attention and respect. “I mean,” she thinks, “I’m dying here! I do deserve some attention!”.
But then, a frightful thought. “Does this make me an… attention-whore?” Little is more disgusting to her than attention whores, in fact. Better be just a crux-slut, indeed.
Tiffany feels her legs quivering under the strain of supporting her weight. The nails in her feet grind against bone and flesh with each small movement, sending ripples of pain up her legs. Below her, the ominous silhouette of the cornu threatens her with a different kind of agony. As she sips the water Sarah holds to her lips, the cruel reality of her predicament seeps in—hydration only prolongs her torment.
“Ugh, I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but thank you,” Tiffany gasps after a deep gulp, the cool water battling the heat scorching her throat.
“Always looking out for you, Tiff. Can’t have you passing out before the main event, can we?” Sarah replies with a cheeky wink.
“Yeah, gotta stay hydrated for the performance,” Bob chimes in, patting his phone in his pocket, clearly ready to capture every moment.
Tiffany shoots a glare at him, her fear mingling with indignation. “This isn’t a performance, Bob. It’s torture!”
“Semantics, darling. Besides, you’re the star of the show here,” Daniel quips, his phone already out and camera app open. “Gotta admit, it’s not every day we get front-row seats to something like this.”
“Stop it, both of you. This isn’t some sick game!” Tiffany pleads, her voice breaking as her strength wanes, her body inching ever so slightly towards the dreaded cornu.
“Oh, come on, Tiff, it’s just a bit of dark humor. You know we love you,” Sarah reassures her, though her eyes are mischievous as she watches Tiffany struggle against the inevitable.
“Love has a weird way of showing itself today,” Tiffany mutters, feeling the cold shadow of the cornu inch closer as her muscles tire. Her desperation grows with the realization that she can’t hold herself up much longer.
“Just think of it as... your final act of defiance,” Bob suggests, a half-grin playing on his lips as he steadies his phone, aiming it at her.
“Defiance? More like compliance,” Daniel adds, his own phone now poised to record. “I mean, you’re basically going to screw yourself on that thing. It’s kinda hot, in a twisted way.”
“You’re disgusting,” Tiffany hisses, the heat from her cheeks now competing with the sun above.
Sarah looks between the boys and Tiffany, her expression torn between amusement and concern. “Guys, maybe ease up on the filming? This is hard enough for her as it is.”
“Nah, she needs to be immortalized. This is epic,” Bob retorts, not taking his eyes off his screen.
“Epic? Bob, I’m about to be impaled. By a wooden pole. Through my...” Tiffany can’t finish the sentence; the reality is too cruel, too humiliating.
“Anus, babe. Say it. It’s just anatomy,” Daniel interjects, almost clinically.
“Shut up, Daniel! Just... shut up!” Tiffany cries out, her legs beginning to shake uncontrollably now. The threat of the cornu becomes imminent, its tip glistening ominously in the sunlight as if beckoning her closer.
“Hold on as long as you can, Tiff. We’re here with you,” Sarah says softly, her voice a sudden island of sympathy in the sea of mockery.
“Not helping, Sarah, but thanks,” Tiffany gasps, her resolve crumbling. Her body sags, the cornu inches from her delicate, exposed skin.
“Here it comes...” Bob whispers, almost reverently, as he and Daniel ready their phones, capturing every second of her distress.
Tiffany closes her eyes, a tear slipping down her cheek, the cool breeze a stark contrast to the heat radiating from her flushed skin. The anticipation is torture, the fear of pain almost as excruciating as the impending physical agony.
“Remember, Tiff, you’re a legend now,” Daniel says, a bizarre note of pride in his voice as he captures her most vulnerable moment.
The cornu touches her sphincter, cold and unyielding, and Tiffany’s breath hitches in her throat. She knows what comes next—she can’t hold herself up any longer. The crowd around her fades into a blur, their voices a distant echo as she focuses on the cold, hard reality pressing against her.
“I hate this. I hate all of this,” she whispers, her voice a mere breath as she prepares for the agony to come, her humiliation recorded for posterity by the friends who find dark humor in her darkest hour.
As Tiffany's trembling legs finally give way, the dreaded moment arrives—the sharp tip of the cornu makes contact with her delicate skin, pressure mounting until it breaches her tightly clenched sphincter. The sensation is both terrifying and excruciating, as the wooden pole slowly invades her, stretching her open painfully. A muffled scream escapes her lips, her body instinctively trying to rise, but the nails in her feet and wrists cruelly remind her there’s no escape from her fate.
"You're doing great, Tiff! Just breathe through it!" Bob calls out, his voice a bizarre blend of encouragement and excitement as he continues to record every second of her torment.
"Yeah, look at you, taking it like a champ!" Daniel adds, his cheer unnervingly bright against the backdrop of Tiffany's suffering.
Sarah, standing closer, watches Tiffany's face contort with pain and reaches out to gently massage her belly. "Shh, just relax, Tiff. It’ll be easier if you relax," she murmurs, her smirk betraying her conflicted enjoyment of the situation.
"Easier? Are you kidding me? Nothing about this is easy!" Tiffany gasps, tears streaming down her face as the full length of the cornu settles inside her, filling her in a way she had never imagined—violent, invasive, and complete.
"I know it hurts, babe, but you gotta admit, it's kinda epic. Not everyone can say they’ve been literally impaled. You’re making history here," Bob jokes, his tone light, failing to mask the underlying grimness of the scene.
Tiffany’s breath comes in ragged gasps, each one a battle against the pain wracking her body. "Please... don't make jokes. Not now," she pleads, her voice breaking.
"Sorry, Tiff, we’re just trying to keep the mood up. You know, lighten the load... or in your case, the pole," Daniel quips, then flinches under Sarah’s sharp elbow to his ribs.
"Daniel! Seriously, show some respect. She’s suffering enough without your lame puns," Sarah scolds, though her eyes are still glued to the spectacle, fascinated and horrified in equal measure.
"Right, sorry. But you gotta admit, Tiff, you’re kind of a star now. Everyone’s going to be talking about this for years," Bob continues, his attempt at reassurance sounding hollow even to his own ears.
Tiffany tries to focus on her breathing, the cool breeze on her sweat-drenched skin a small mercy as she adjusts to the foreign object violating her body. The pain is relentless, a constant burn that threatens to overwhelm her senses.
"I don’t want to be a star, not like this," she manages to say, her voice a mere whisper carried away by the wind.
"But you are, Tiff. You’re incredible. I mean, look at you, handling this... It’s brutal, but damn, if it isn’t the bravest thing I’ve ever seen," Sarah says, her voice softening, a genuine note of admiration breaking through her earlier flippancy.
"Yeah, Tiff. Seriously, you’re amazing," Daniel agrees, his earlier joviality replaced by a slightly more sober respect as he lowers his phone, finally stopping his recording... but very decided to resume later.
"It’s... it’s so much," Tiffany murmurs, closing her eyes, trying to escape the pain and the reality of her display. Her body is on fire, every nerve ending screaming as she hangs there, impaled and exposed at the crossroads of pain and resignation.Her heart pounds in her chest, not just from the pain but from the humiliation and strange excitement of being so utterly exposed. People pass by in a hurry—some casting quick glances, others openly ogling her naked, suffering body. No one stops for long, though, leaving her feeling both overwhelmed by their stares and utterly alone in her agony.
Then, she hears familiar voices.
“Tiff, you poor thing! Look at you, up there!” Sarah calls out, her cheerful tone cutting through Tiffany’s haze of pain.

“We know, babe, but look on the bright side,” Sarah says, twirling a strand of her blonde hair around her finger. “You’ve got the best view in town, and you’re the star of the show! Everyone’s talking about you. You’re famous!”
“I don’t want to be famous! I just want to get down! Please, help me!” Tiffany pleads, writhing slightly against the cross. The movement makes the cornu press threateningly against her anus, and she freezes, biting back a gasp.
“Whoa there, careful!” Daniel says, pointing. “That thing looks like it’s ready to, uh, make itself at home if you’re not careful. You don’t want to give the crowd an extra show, do you?”
Tiffany glares at him, tears streaming down her face. “Shut up, Daniel! This isn’t a joke!”
“Aw, don’t cry, Tiff,” Sarah says, reaching out to pat her shin. “You’ll ruin your makeup. Oh wait, you’re not wearing any. Guess that’s for the best, huh? Less to streak.”
Bob chuckles. “Yeah, and anyway, you look great all natural. Just sweat and suffering—very primal.”
“God, you’re both assholes,” Tiffany mutters, her voice cracking as she shifts slightly to ease the ache in her shoulders.
“We brought water! Want some?” Sarah asks brightly, holding up a bottle.
“Yes, please! Oh, thank God!” Tiffany gasps, nodding eagerly.

“Thanks, Sarah. That... really helps,” Tiffany murmurs.
“Anything for you, sweetie,” Sarah replies with a grin. “Though I have to say, it’s a bit surreal seeing you like this. I mean, who knew cheating on an exam could land you here? Professor Lascelles is savage!”
“Savage? She’s insane!” Tiffany snaps, her voice trembling with both anger and fear. “This punishment is insane! Look at me! I’m naked, nailed, and dying at a crossroads!”
“Yeah, but you did cheat, Tiff,” Bob says with a shrug. “Actions have consequences, y’know?”
“Screw you, Bob!”
“Not likely,” he quips, smirking. “You’re a little tied up right now.”
Daniel bursts out laughing, and even Sarah can’t suppress a giggle. Tiffany groans, her head falling back against the wood.

"Yeah, look at you, taking it like a champ!" Daniel adds, his cheer unnervingly bright against the backdrop of Tiffany's suffering.
Sarah, standing closer, watches Tiffany's face contort with pain and reaches out to gently massage her belly. "Shh, just relax, Tiff. It’ll be easier if you relax," she murmurs, her smirk betraying her conflicted enjoyment of the situation.
"Easier? Are you kidding me? Nothing about this is easy!" Tiffany gasps, tears streaming down her face as the full length of the cornu settles inside her, filling her in a way she had never imagined—violent, invasive, and complete.
"I know it hurts, babe, but you gotta admit, it's kinda epic. Not everyone can say they’ve been literally impaled. You’re making history here," Bob jokes, his tone light, failing to mask the underlying grimness of the scene.
Tiffany’s breath comes in ragged gasps, each one a battle against the pain wracking her body. "Please... don't make jokes. Not now," she pleads, her voice breaking.
"Sorry, Tiff, we’re just trying to keep the mood up. You know, lighten the load... or in your case, the pole," Daniel quips, then flinches under Sarah’s sharp elbow to his ribs.
"Daniel! Seriously, show some respect. She’s suffering enough without your lame puns," Sarah scolds, though her eyes are still glued to the spectacle, fascinated and horrified in equal measure.
"Right, sorry. But you gotta admit, Tiff, you’re kind of a star now. Everyone’s going to be talking about this for years," Bob continues, his attempt at reassurance sounding hollow even to his own ears.
Tiffany tries to focus on her breathing, the cool breeze on her sweat-drenched skin a small mercy as she adjusts to the foreign object violating her body. The pain is relentless, a constant burn that threatens to overwhelm her senses.
"I don’t want to be a star, not like this," she manages to say, her voice a mere whisper carried away by the wind.
"But you are, Tiff. You’re incredible. I mean, look at you, handling this... It’s brutal, but damn, if it isn’t the bravest thing I’ve ever seen," Sarah says, her voice softening, a genuine note of admiration breaking through her earlier flippancy.
"Yeah, Tiff. Seriously, you’re amazing," Daniel agrees, his earlier joviality replaced by a slightly more sober respect as he lowers his phone, finally stopping his recording... but very decided to resume later.
"Just hang in there, Tiff. We're here with you, all the way," Bob says quietly, his voice no longer carrying the earlier cheer.
