There's another option that would have gotten my vote had it been up there. Crucified by pirates. Come on, am I right? Marooned and crucified, after a long and unpleasant boat trip.

The Barbary pirates sailed out of North Africa, but actually raided some surprising places. They carried off nearly the entire village of Baltimore, Ireland in 1631; quite a bit of info about that online and at least one book on the subject, "The Stolen Village" by Des Ekin. They raided coastal towns in Spain, Portugul, Italy, France, Britain, The Netherlands and even as far north as Iceland, carrying off somewhere between 800,000 to 1.25 million people - Christians for the slave trade.

I wrote a story several years ago about two Christian girls who had been carried off into slavery by the Barbary pirates and ended up crucified in the desert somewhere. You could come up with any number of stories based on Christian girls enslaved that way.

Yes, crucified for just being who I am - that's at the heart of all my fantasies.

This leads to a familiar dilemma.
If the death-demanding charge brought against me, is finally reduced to the essential "crime of being me" - it becomes difficult to claim my innocence! So, the verdict is guilty anytime, and bring the remedy!

The idea of being condemned for 'just being me' is appealing indeed.

I am who I am, and whatever society thinks about it, I don't give a damn. Society won't change me anyway...

But it does not mean I am innocent. Is it a matter of being innocent?

For society, I am a threat.

So they want to get rid of me.

So they nail me to a cross, naked, humiliated, whatever..... No martyr, no hero, just social waste. Outcast. Rotten and forgotten.

Taken from the marketplace just after dawn. Simply searching for fresh produce and then .......... taken!

Alarmed and unsure of any truth that will save you.
 
A serious thought... really...
I think a modern crucifixion is somewhat more horrific (not for the pain the condemned prisoner [not a victim!!!] feels) but because this is not done in this era...

...or is it...

I think, if you're guilty of a crime, you're innocent of being innocent :cool:
Either way, they've got us by the short-and-curlies! :devil:

It had been quite the party on Saturday Morning. After a delicious breakfast buffet where I severely over ate and drank too many flutes of Champaign and strong Tequila Sunrises I write my name on a square of paper and drop it in the hat with rest of the women's names. It all seemed like fun and it was my first holiday in the Alps and it seemed like that was the tradition. I was excited when my name was drawn and wondered what I had won... This was a surprise...
I hang bound to a cross wearing only a tank top and a bikini bottom and a laurel of flowers on my head. It is the summer solstice and I have hours to go before they strip my top off.

I could not help voiding myself...

Likewise but the photos of actual victims answers questions and gives inspiration. For modern fantasies recall that the Schutzstaffeln occasionally carried out crucifixion for "research" in the camps as well as terror.
 
Viewed like that, indeed , but I dont like to use these events in this way ...
 
In that case I humbly beg your pardon mamselle. As a scholastic anything is grits for my mill. Might I ask you to start a conversation with me as the site won't let me start one with you :)
