Then a hood covered my head.
“Don’t make it harder for us,” the hangman whispered.
The hood was as dark as a funeral scarf,
I kept on hoping that they would distinguish me, that they would stop the hanging and free me.
I got to know that there was no hope, when the countdown began.
“Pull the lever”, said the sheriff, to the hangman, after hearing these words
I shut my eyes, as they were raining tears
Three-Two-One. Boom! The trap door opened and I fell
I struggled for oxygen. I thought it was too late. The coroner pronounced me dead
My body hung there like a piece of cloth for 5 minutes – I was alive my heart was beating, but very faintly.
“Call the nurses and tell them to take the corpse to the morgue”, said the sheriff. A couple hours
