I really enjoyed the progression from “I want my executioner to have a life.” to the doctor crying to the final line. “The fucking monster” hit like a hammer. Neat premise and good job evolving it
Thanks, this is one of my favourites. The word count is too short to qualify for the comp itself, but I included it here just to get a few more eyes on it. Glad you enjoyed it.
Quite a psychological twist on the typical execution.
Thanks Bill. I went down a whole rabbit hole on the morality informing this story. Hope you enjoyed it.
