Il Carnefice
Have you ever seen anything more beautiful? Another man hanging, as if he now had no weight on his shoulders, no more worries. Some people think of me as a monster, to others an entertainer. But to me, I am the Executioner.
It all started when I was but just a mere child of seven years. I was playing outside in a vineyard, when suddenly, a big dog came out of nowhere. I ran, trying to escape the horrid beast, but it chased after me. I toppled crates and barrels as I ran, hoping to slow it down so I could escape, but every time I looked back, he was still there.
As I turned to look back once more, I ran into a wall face-first, smashing my nose. The pain was terrible, but the pain slipped away as I looked back and saw the beast face to face. I stared in its eyes, looking at what was certainly my death, but then, something 'clicked' in my mind. I got up, and walked towards the dog. He came at me, but as he tried to bite me, I grabbed his jaw. It was painful at first, I admit, but then the pain flew away from my body as I heard the dog start to cry. It kept crying and crying but I never let go. I felt different, I felt… Powerful... As the dog whimpered, I started pulling his jaw open farther and farther apart, but then I let it go, seeing the look in its eye. It was defenseless, and I was ultimately stronger. What would I become if I killed it?
So yeah... I changed the story a bit. I didn't feel right having the dog killed in the original chapter, so I decided to change it so I can make the story longer while making it a little easier on my conscious. Please review, no flames please. Thank you.
