Passion Play: The Thieves - part 4
Louise swallowed the tears. Breathing deeply as long as she could, she hung there for a while, until suddenly she heard the name of the next station from the loudspeakers: "The Lord Jesus dies on the cross."
God, maybe it's finally over...!
Soldiers approached the actor playing Jesus, pretending to pierce his side with a spear, and, as it was said, "he cried out one last time with a loud voice and gave up the ghost." For the priests and the parishioners, the most important spectacle was over.
But not for her. For although the Messiah was dead and the choir began to sing the elegy, her suffering was far from over: the torment of the thieves would last for many more minutes before this station, and then the next one, ended...!
Upon realizing this, she lost her strength again and began to cry loudly and tremble in despair. She leaned forward even more, as if trying to pry out the nails firmly embedded in her wrists. More abundant streams of blood flowed from the wounds on her arms and shoulders onto her already bloody breasts, hanging almost above the heads of the crowd; blood flowed from both nipples, protruding helplessly downwards, in a stream, like milk from a cow's udders.
Louise looked down and saw how terribly mutilated her body was, and at the sight she groaned in despair. And suddenly her knees buckled violently and the woman fell down with a terrible jerk that almost took her hand off. She opened her mouth to scream in pain, but her body, crushed by muscle spasm and stretched, was unable to utter any sound. Her eyes almost popped out of their sockets, the knees of her bent legs opened wide again, and then with a clap of thighs against thighs, they closed, and again, and again.
The crowd almost burst into laughter looking at the helpless movements and shameless poses of the girl dying in pain, shouting taunts at her, spitting at her and showing her obscene gestures, both women and men, while the youth, above all, recorded her every move, reaching out to her hundreds of cells, amused and pleased with the great spectacle. Two more pebbles - unfortunately only the size of a walnut, because, to the chagrin of the onlookers, no larger ones could be found nearby - hit her in the mouth and groin. She was a convict, and therefore a nobody, a waste, a thrash: no suffering and no humiliation was too cruel for her!
Only when the "Lord Jesus has been taken down from the cross" echoed from the facades of the surrounding buildings, Louiea, gathering all her remaining strength and resistance, forced herself to remain still for a moment, trying to focus her wandering eyes on the figure of the Messiah. She couldn't focus, but she vaguely saw that his cross was already lying on the ground, and then that the soldiers had gone down the "hill" a bit and the cross remained empty; she followed them with her eyes, guessing that they were carrying the body to place it on the lap of the actress playing Virgin Mary.
She expected that it would be over, that the soldiers would soon approach them and somehow end their torment, but she was again terribly disappointed. A young girl with a microphone read a poem, and then the choir started singing again. The song was sadistically long and Louise, pierced by an increasingly stronger, indescribable pain that was growing every second, had to start her terrible dance of death again.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that James was not moving, hanging limply from the cross, and she thought that he had either lost consciousness or had already died. It's probably the heart. Why couldn't she be dead the same!?
Lifting her massacred body up again, she howled like a she-wolf, and after a series of loud breaths, during which her blood-drenched breasts bounced like balls, spraying drops of blood onto the closest onlookers, she fell clumsily down, scraping the pole and this time completely tearing off her skin. from the back and buttocks on the grain and splinters of the cross, sharp as file grooves.
