An Execution. Who was this woman?
17th January 2026 by | Uncategorized
I have never seen an execution like this. She is old, far older than most who come here, and when they lead her out, I hear murmurs ripple through the crowd. Her hair is white beneath her hood, her body slight, yet she stands with a dignity that feels almost defiant. She looks around, confused, asking why she must die, insisting she has committed no treason. There is no scaffold speech rehearsed, no calm acceptance.
Only disbelief.
When the axe is raised, she recoils. She does not kneel. She moves, cries out, tries to escape the block as though reason might yet prevail. The executioner falters, then strikes again, and again. It is brutal, chaotic, nothing like the clean justice we are told to expect. Some turn away. Others weep openly. I leave shaken, knowing I have witnessed not punishment, but cruelty dressed as law.
