I did what I had to.
I know that most people in my position say that, unless
they’re claiming they were innocent. But in my case, it’s true.
As I was lead to the gallows, I heard them start. A simple
drum beat, intended more for the marching soldiers heading towards the front
lines. Then another began, and another, until the sound filled my ears,
blocking out the priest reading my rights.
Head to the front lines, each strike of the drum said. We
have to press forward.
Now that our coward general is dead, we might win…
I dropped.
