MAGGIE
...COMMAND U TO EXECUTE D AFORESAID JUDGEMENT N SENTENCE BY
HANGING IN A MANNER THAT PRODUCES BRAIN DEATH IN SAID ISAIAH
MATTHEW BOURNE...
When d warden finished, he faced Shay.'Inmate Bourne, do u
hav any final words?'
Shay squinted,until found me in d front row.He kept his eyes
on me for a long moment,n then drifted toward Father Michael.But
then he turned to d side of d tent where d witnesses for d
victim were gathered,n he smiled at June Nealon.'I forgive u,'
he said.
Immediately afterward,a curtain was drawn.It reached only to d floor of d gallows, n it was translucent white.I didn't noe if
d warden had intended for us to c what was happening behind it,
but we could,in macabre silhouette:d hood being placed over Shay's
head,d noose being tightened against his neck,d two officers
who'd secured him stepping backward.
'Goodbye,'I whispered.
