It's almost six o'clock. Unless I hear from the governor, I'll be dead in about six hours. Right now, I'm staring at a half eaten plate of steak and potatoes. Funny, I'm not too hungry.
I don't feel like watching TV either, even though the news is about me. The reporter is outside the prison, interviewing the protestors. It seems every time someone is about to walk the hall, you have all sorts of protestors saying how the death penalty is wrong. I don't know about most guys on Death Row, but I think my punishment fits the crime.
The priest was just here, asking if I wanted to repent or confess anything. That got me to laughing. As fast as he left, I must have upset the old Padre. But if there's one thing I've done enough of, it's confessing.
At the trial, I confessed to all the crimes they said I did, except for one. I just refused to talk about it.
There were five murders I confessed to. Killed them all in cold blood. Just like Johnny Cash sang "I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die." Except they weren't in Reno, and they weren't men. They were all women, all over the country, and I only shot one of them. But the watching them die part is right.
I never talked about number six, even though she's the reason I never appealed my sentence. I even asked to get this over with sooner. Most guys stay on Death Row for ten to fifteen years. I've only been here for six, but I couldn't last another day.
To understand the sixth one, I have to explain the first five. The first girl was kind of an accident. We were having sex, going at it pretty heavy when the urge came over me to wrap my hands around her neck. The tighter I squeezed, the more she fought, the more pleasurable it was for me. I climaxed and she croaked at the same time. The euphoria was unbelievable.
The second girl went the same way, but now I knew what I was going to do. Watching the fear in her eyes as she struggled for a breath was amazing. But for some reason, it wasn't as good as the first one. Don't get me wrong, it was the second to best sex I ever had, but I sure as hell didn't want to take a step backwards.
I stepped it up a bit with the third girl. I tied her hands to the headboard and shoved a gun in her mouth. Needless to say, the gun went off the same time I did. No step backwards here. But I knew that I had to step it up each time from now on.
I don't want to go into too much detail, for those with a sensitive disposition, but girl number four was a lead pipe and number five I beat to death with my fists.
I brought a knife with me on the last one. I had been fantasizing for weeks about the cuts I would make on her body. But things started going wrong as soon as I brought the knife out. She didn't seem scared; she seemed turned on by it. What should have been struggles of pain were more like throws of ecstasy. The more pain I inflicted, the more she enjoyed it. She never fought against the tearing of her skin. Not once did she ask me to stop.
Blood covered everything. I knew she was near death but I was nowhere near receiving the pleasure I wanted. I punched her in the face, she laughed. I dropped the knife and reared back to punch her again. She grabbed the knife, made one quick slicing motion, and died.
She wasn't laughing at the pain I was inflicting. She was laughing because with one swipe of my own knife, she ensured I would never have a woman again. She cut off the one thing that makes me a man.
In less than six hours, the Penathol will start dripping into my arm. That's when my pain will finally go away

It started well but then it seemed like the ending was rushed.

Agreed....but it could have been so so much better if it'd been a series.
