I Begged You
โPlease, I am literally begging you,โ I warn, but the executioner only sighs and
gives me a truly sorrowful look...
The chaplain sits beside me. โOnce he pushes the button, death will come
soon after,โ he explains, even though I have heard it so
many times before already. โAny final words?โ
โJust, again, I tell you, begging you not to do this,โ I say.

The chaplain nods sadly, sorrowful that I do not face my executioner with a
clean conscience.
Thatโs the thing, though. I havenโt murdered anyone. Itโs been this way my
entire life. I donโt know why, but whenever I would accidentally hurt myself
others near me would receive the wound. I once got a paper cut in class that
caused the three people around me to bleed from their fingers. In high school, I
was in a car accident, and even though my side of the car was hit, my girlfriend
developed a broken leg.
Iโm always very careful. I take care of myself, trying to stay in the very best of
health. But when I was mugged by that trio and he shot me in the face, theirs
exploded, not mine. And when the cops came, they found me kneeling by
their bodies, trying to figure out what to do and stupidly holding their gun.
Around thirty seconds after the execution started, I see both the executioner
and chaplain fall to the floor with a hard thump. โI told you,โ I begged sadly.
