Time creep slowly as endless reminiscences fill my mind. I have already lost count the number of days I am trap in this bleak and silence cell. Anguish and emotional torment engulf me as I await for my death penalty. I am on my death row because of a folly mistake, I shouldn’t have let my anger overwhelmed me but the sight of him reminds me of how he had ruthlessly raped my wife three years ago. I simply cannot forget the old animosities between us.

Everyday, someone will have to be hang, to pay for the consequences of their action. Today is that fateful day. Cold fear grip me. I am fill with remorse and agony beyond words. I hope this is a nightmare that soon I will be liberate out of it but I know I am being too naïve. My death penalty is a reality, an unchangeable reality.

Uncountable thoughts flash through my distress mind. The thought of my friends, my family, my loves one fill me with nostalgia. If only I had more self-control then but it’s too late to regret.

That rusty and bulky door swing open with a loud “bang”. Finally they have arrive. I walk slowly into that death chamber. Soon, I will be able to reunite with my wife again. She had committed suicide after being raped. radiant smile start to appear on my stolid face as they shout “death man walking”..
