"ELECTRIC CHAIR!"

"Please your Majesty! SPARE US PLEASE!! We know our fault, please show us mercy. Please, please! We were framed but if you spare us I will admit to crimes we didn't commit so that justice will be served anyway! Please! Please."

"No. I have looked over your doings too many times. I'm sorry, I do love you but I... You don't know how hard this! ELECTRIC CHAIR!!!"

"Your Majesty spare us! Please! PLEASEEEE! Please. My muse..."

How did things turn out this way? How?! My best friend sentencing me and my sister to the electric chair? I swear if I had a second chance this would never happen. I was shackled in chains around my wrists and ankles. "Way to treat best friends," I sarcastically muttered. A steward was dragging me to the electric chair room. A stewardess behind us was taking my sister, Melissa. She seemed miserable. In our cells, we were poorly fed and I refused to eat the food served with malnutrition and rotting. Whatever decent food given to us, I would give to Melissa yet we were both emaciated, especially me. No wonder she was miserable. We were living in deplorable conditions for 6 months. Usually, this would be the part where I tell you how this happened but no no, wait until later on.

"Quit daydreaming, assassin! Just because the judge used to favour you, doesn't mean you can commit any crime or cold blooded homocide and get away with it! And dragging your sister into this?! What would your uncle think?!"

"Uncle... What gives you the right or authority to speak of my uncle?!! Bitch! We are innocent! LET US GO!!"

I began struggling with the steward: biting, kicking, scratching.

"LET MY SISTER LIVE! LET HER GO!! SHE IS DEFINITELY INNOCENT! PLEASE!!"

"Stop struggling! The less you struggle, the less painful it will be when you're punished." the steward shouted.

"No!"

I spat in her face. Melissa looked horrified when she saw the steward raise his hand. He punched me in the neck and the next thing I remember was that everything went black.

When I finally woke up I was strapped tightly to a metal chair. "Huh, so this is the electric chair. Not as impressive as I thought it would be." I rocked back and forth, trying to lose balance so this could go crashing to the floor. My struggle only led to an unsatisfying rattling of metal. I growled and gnashed my teeth when suddenly it dawned on me. Where is Melissa?

"Melissa? Melissa! Melissa where are you? Melissa!! Melissa make a noise! I'll get out of here and come to you! MELISSA! MELISSA!! ANYTHING MELISSA JUST MAKE A FUCKING NOISE! Melissa. Melissa please don't be dead!"

I heard a zap, followed by a distant scream.

" MELISSA!! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO US?! I KNOW YOU'RE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT WALL! MELISSA! MELISSA I'M COMING! WAIT, JUST HANG ON MELISSA!"

I groaned in an attempt to get out of the retraints.

" How could you do this?! I LOVED YOU! THAT'S MY SISTER YOU'RE KILLING! MELISSA!! I SHOULD'VE HAVE NEVER MET YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE! I! HATE! YOU! MELISSA! MELISSA I'M COMING! WAIT, MELISSA I'M... COMING... MELISSA... WAIT... HOLD ON. I'm... Coming... Me.. Lis.. Sa... "

I passed with anger and sadness but it wasn't over yet.

I was woken up by an electric shock, stinging my ribs but it didn't hurt as much as being betrayed. I was zapped again, this time, it was longer and more painful. It made my skin red and eyes water. But at that moment I didn't care, I needed to know where Melissa was. "MELISSA! MELISSA! MELISSA WHERE ARE YOU?! MELISSA! MELISSA ANSWER ME GODDAMMIT! MELISSA!"

I growled whilst being zapped again. The pain was unbearable but I had to bare with it to find Melissa. Every breath of air I took was painful and agonising. My oesophagus felt as if it would either collapse or explode. "Keep breathing. Keep breathing for Melissa. For uncle. For mum and dad. For Jay. For me." I recited those words aloud so everyone on the other side could hear me for 5 minutes. I began to worry about what would happen to Melissa, about what would happen to me, about the real culprit escaping the punishment. I began thinking of what Uncle would do. Uncle was an extremely notorious, intelligent and aloof businessman. No matter how big the the cavity of trouble he would fall into, Uncle always managed to build a ladder tall enough to get out of it. I sighed. "Is this really the end for me?" I thought, "What about Melissa? It's all my fault that this happened. If only I was never born." I thought of all the great times me, Melissa and Uncle had. He would tell us the greatest stories before sleeping that would frighten Melissa and fascinate me. Uncle told us that if we had God's favour and never wished evil on anyone that if we died in vain, he would revive us as many times as it takes until we die of old age in peace. I thought I might as well give it a try so I began insulting the people behind the wall so they would zap harder eventually causing death. My plan was successful as I remember passing out.
