I sneered when they came for me, laughing contemptuously as the guards chained my arms and legs to the chair. After all, I would go free after I'd completed my sentence.
The Captain's eyes flashed angrily. He'd worked death row for a lot of years, and no matter what they called it now, I knew he'd be damned if there were any problems while he carried out the sentence of the very last murderer on his watch.
That would be me.
There had been no other homicides since the new law was enacted, and none were anticipated, either.
Not after today.
The Captain leaned in, positioning himself between the cameras and me in a pretense of checking the straps across my chest.
"You'll lose that smile soon enough," he whispered, and jabbed a callused finger into my throat. Hard. I started to wheeze and he signaled the guards to wheel me out, knowing the string of expletives for which I strained would be unheard by the billions watching worldwide.
There were no webcams in the hallways.
When I finally caught my breath, I cussed the guards a blue streak, but it was a long way to the chamber and by the time they wheeled me in I was tired and all cussed out.
The Captain was a smart son of a bitch.
Cameras were positioned to catch every angle, reminders of the intense interest in my fate. The viewing area was empty, however.
Apparently no one wanted to witness the thing in person.
For the first time since the deed, I actually started to regret what I'd done, but it was too late for any of that. Too goddamn late.
I looked around the room at the cameras, imagining people all over the world eagerly awaiting my punishment. Sick fucks.
I wanted to puke, but I wasn't going to give them the satisfaction.
I wanted to scream for them to hurry up and get it over with, but damned if I could get any sound out. My mouth felt like bunted cotton.
When the Captain finally came in and unlocked my hands, I was sweating like a sauna rat. I swear I could see a look of compassion in his eyes.
We both knew he'd been right about one thing. I wasn't smiling anymore.
When they wheeled in the body of my wife, the guards had to put the utensils in my hands and hold them there until I finally found my grip.
There'd been a lot of talk about how this new punishment was cruel and unusual, but those in charge quickly rejoined that from the earliest times, it was understood a man should eat all that he killed.

not exactly new territory, but did they at least allow you to bone her first?
