Heather Malone’s visit to Tight Rope, Arkansas

[thehangingtree]

Heather did not see the hangman pull the lever. She looks down at the wood she stands on, feeling it vibrate beneath her feet.



Her fall lasts only a brief moment as she drops only a couple feet. For that bit of time she is completely weightless. She opens her mouth to scream but before a sound comes out the noose snatches her neck, abruptly breaking her drop.



There is a moment of silence as the crowd is as startled as Heather is. A stream of piss squirts between her legs. Everyone is surprised Heather is hanged. But a loud cheer comes from the crowd when her legs twitch.

Heather looks down at the ground swaying far below her feet.



‘What just happened’ she wonders…

By the court’s decree, Heather is hanged on a warm Saturday evening in Tight Rope’s town square. Just pulling the lever and having her hang by her neck is the quickest part of her execution. Given only a short drop, Heather will suffer the slow strangulation as her body hangs below the noose. The shock of her drop causes her to lose control of her bladder. She does not feel the river of piss gushing from her pussy- she is too busy trying to get her next breath.



She does not notice the crowd’s lewd cheers as she waters the ground she hangs above.

All of what is left of Heather’s rapidly ending life is taken by gasping for her next gasp of air and escaping the irons that hold her hands behind her back.



The former is getting harder and escaping the cuffs is impossible.

On the gallows looking down at Heather’s last struggle, Commissioner Tree’s sister Joan says “It amazes me how much they fight to escape the noose.”



Tree says “It’s choking them to death. How ‘bout if I hang you and see if you don’t do the same thing.”

Joan firmly refuses.

Heather has been hanged for almost five minutes and though slowing somewhat, her frantic dance is still quite spirited. Joan Tree turns to Mrs. Longdrop and again notes “I can’t believe how hard she fights even though she is choking to death.”

Quite proudly, Mrs. Longdrop says “It is exciting! She may set a new record time to die!”



At eight minutes the undertaker’s wife (who is also the hangman’s wife) glances up from her book ‘One Hundred Ways to Execute Women’ to see Heather has slowed to her last jerks and twitches. She thinks ‘Come on, bitch, kick the bucket. I get do damn horny when they hang one of you’.



Heather would move her lips to say ‘Just end it now’. No one knows if she meant her hanging or her life. Either way, her suffering was soon over. Once again, the innate rope won its battle with its condemned prisoner.

Tree stands beneath Heather’s hanged body with Messaline and Professor Moore. Calmly he says “Justice has been served. The criminal is dead.”

Professor Moore, in quite an aroused state, says accusingly “That was barbaric. That was the cruelest way to execute someone. These cases should go before the Supreme Court before someone is put to death!”



Messaline kind of agrees. She fingers her clit hidden by the coat Tree loaned her. She says “At least she should have been hanged with one of my premium French nooses. At least her neck would not be chaffed.”

This concludes Heather’s visit to Tight Rope, Arkansas. It did not end how she expected to but sometimes you don’t know all the ropes you will come across.

There will be a short epilogue to this story… patience IS a virtue…

sometimes you don’t know all the ropes you will come across.

A very wise saying from Mr H. Tree

Heather Malone was hanged in Tight Rope’s town square before a large crowd.



In the early 1900s it was determined that that executions should be carried out within the confines of a penal institute before only prison personnel and the required witnesses. Even Tight Rope went along with the public’s demand, though condemned women were still hanged nude.



There was no need to soil prison uniforms when the woman was being put to death.

As late as the first world war, captured spies were hung together on military bases. Joan Tree even got a government job overseeing the executions since she had considerable experience executing women by hanging them.



Prisoners were often executed together as few personnel were needed to execute a few prisoners than doing one at a time.



But eventually the rights of the condemned prisoners was considered and it was determined prisoners should be hanged individually so they would not have to see another prisoner prepared to be put to death. The condemned prisoner was brought to the execution chamber where she could be hanged privately- besides the official witnesses and prison staff executing her.



A member of the state’s department of corrections would read her sentence to her before she was hanged.



Then the stool would be pulled from beneath her feet and she was hanged until she was dead.



It was many years till the rural areas adopted long drop hangings, though how long the drop should be was often open to debate.



The method of execution was often changed. Firing squads were used for a while until the guards’ unions declared them inhumane for to the squad executing the prisoner. The electric chair was used for a while till it was decided frying prisoners to death was cruel and unusual punishment. So the gas chamber was taken up until the environmentist determined it was not good for the planet. Lethal injection was tried till the drug companies withdrew their support. Many states abandoned capital punishment over liberal outcries.

But rumor has it, the time honored method of hanging a prisoner is coming back. In fact, Racheal Filbit, a thirty-three-year-old in Arkansas was sentenced to several consecutive hundred-year sentences for bank fraud. Knowing she had no chance of ever seeing freedom, she sued the state to demand she be hanged to death. The picture of her is from her ad campaigns depicting her prepared to be hanged.



She won her lawsuit and was hanged at the Brampton State Correction Facility for Women. Be assured she was hanged naked at the prison just outside the small town of Tight Rope, Arkansas.



Her pink and white dress used in her campaign can be viewed to this day at the Arkansas Women Hall of Fame.

Stupid woman. Well, why did she sterilize him? She should have just poisoned him with cyanide. Or strychnine. Pretend that she liked it when he raped and beat her. But just poison slowly. To make it look like a disease. So that he thinks so and everyone thinks so.
You hang them by the neck perfectly. Beautiful. I like how they die. But at the same time, I sympathize with them and feel sorry for them.
It’s not for nothing that your story, combined with the Moebius pictures, blew my mind.
