A little one-shot for a musical I think is wonderful, though highly underdone, unfortunately.
I don't own Parade, as Jason Robert Brown seems to do that for me.
Just a small little drabble on Leo's thoughts right before he dies.
Oh god. I can't believe they're doing this. I didn't. I would never..
That rope..it feels..
Please, God, save me. Please, do something. Help me.
Someone tell Lucille I love her. Someone..someone tell them I didn't kill little Mary. She was my employee, she was adorable, I would never hurt anyone as innocent as that..
I'm already in jail, why do this to me?
God, save me..God, help me. God, tell Lucille I love her.
If they're really..going to kill me, please, please let it be quick. Please, God, let my death be swift. Please, please, God..let me die quickly.
Let them find the error of their ways.
Forgive them, please. They don't know they're killing the wrong man.
They don't know that..they don't know that Jewish people aren't the devil's spawn. Please forgive them.
Oh, God, are they going to kick that table out? Please, please let it be quick..
God, they know not what they do..
Please..please..
I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything I've ever done.
Let it..be fast, please!
Lord, tell Lucille I've always loved her. Tell her I'll always love her.
Please..kick the table..kick it..kick it, please, the rope..it hurts.
End drabble.
Please read and review.
