The crucifixion of OLGA
Chapter 7A: Olga gets a first visit of the public
Now the job is done the soldiers can rest. People gather around the cross to have a good look. When Olga opens her eyes she sees people even standing right under her. Hundreds of people are watching. A ‘déjà vu’ again? Only one day ago the eyes of a hundred soldiers were focused on a nude Olga in the Roman castle when she was flogged. But unfortunately for Olga …, she hangs naked on a cross observed by hundreds of people. It is reality.
There are friends, people she knows from the village, many strangers. All are staring at her.
At first Olga tries to hide her nudity, but of course … that is impossible. With nailed hands and feet the only thing she can try is to keep her modesty as good as possible. But she cannot hide the pain this causes when she pulls herself up in an attempt to stand straight, with legs closed as much as possible. Making slow movements she tries to ease the pain a bit.
Reactions of the people from the village differ now they have a close look on Olga.
There is indignation about her nudity (mostly of women):
“All Romans are just pigs to crucify a naked Jewish woman …”
There is indignation about her former prudishness, when they see her sex (mostly men):
“She must have been raped in a gangbang of Roman soldiers”, guesses a man.
Another supposes that Olga must have had a scandalous life of a strumpet in secret.
“I thought she was a virgin …”, a man says with frustration in his voice.
Olga recognizes him. Only a week ago she rejected him to have a date.
It’s April in Palestine. Noon has just started, the warmth of the sun is getting uncomfortable. Olga worries. New problems to deal with. The combination of a bare skin and the heat of the sun will not stay unpunished….
The Romans have built shelters and place sunshades against the sun. Sitting in the shadow people can get free drinks and food. Some musicians play for the V.I.P.’s. From their position they have a clear look on Olga hanging on the cross. Great, the general has organized a decent reception.
The sun starts to burn.
All people are requested to leave the spot and to hide for the sun.
Soon Olga will get all the attention of the sunbeams on the Galgotha.

Chapter 7B: Some tenderness for Olga
Before the centurion leaves the spot, he cuts Olga’s skin near her shoulders with a spear.
“He Olga, when you are thirsty, drink your own blood. Otherwise flies will do it”, he laughs.
Only one guard stays behind. He will have all the time to have a close look on Olga for the next few hours. But the soldier is not pleased. He knows that both will suffer in the heat.
Olga will suffer naked on the cross while the sun will burn her skin badly. But the soldier will suffer too. His is fully armed and has to stand still in the heat, not allowed to leave his spot. That is also a challenge.
The centurion gave him the order to stay because he is the sheep goat of the camp. The centurion suspects him to sympathize with the Jewish local population. When the soldier sees Olga writhing on the cross. He feels sorry for her. He met Olga once in daily life. Olga was one of the few girls/women who were not hostile against the Romans. She is a pleasant girl. What a shame to do this to her. And moreover, it is a scandal to offer a Jewish girl to a fake God in Jewish viewpoint. One day a war is inevitable.
Note: That war comes about 70 A.D. You want to know the name where this story takes place? Masada.
The soldier observes all of Olga’s moves. She tries several positions to stand still. Her left foot is placed on a woodblock, but that steeps and the awkward position causes cramps. Her right foot can make some movements. It seems the right nail is not fully driven into the wood. But this foot slips of the block all the time. He also observes she can hardly use her left arm to adjust her position. And of course Olga must be thirsty. He is too.
Olga got her last drink when she was in the cell of the Roman castle, early in the morning.
Despite her hopeless position she is in, she has some luck. The heat of the sun dries up the blood. There are no mosquito’s circling around her head. Finally she finds a position for her right foot on the woodblock, but then she must bent her leg outward. For the public it will give an obscene view, but for this moment there is only one young Roman soldier nearby.
Unfortunately for Olga it is not possible to bent her legs outward for a longtime. It decreases the pain in her hands and feet, but it also costs energy of the muscles in her legs. The V.I.P.’s on the tribune see Olga dance on the cross when cramps cause her severe problems. Some of them are cheering: “Look at her, she has come to action ….”
When Olga regains control over her muscles she recognizes the young soldier who stands on guard. She met him once. He was nervous and clumsy when they bumped on the marketplace.
He must be a shy young man and probably he has no experience with women at all.
The life of Olga has changed dramatically within two days. Before, Olga was a shy slavegirl and avoided that men could see more of her than an ankle. Yesterday and today hundreds of people have seen her naked in public. But all those men were anonymous onlookers for her. He is different. For the next few yours they will be ‘just the two of them’. No one else, except for the public at a distance. Olga observes him, like he observes her.
To some amusement Olga discovers that each time, when strain in her muscles forces her to open her legs, he turns away his head decent. But curiosity makes him peek secretly, what makes him fail to deny he is watching her. Olga starts to like him. A pity she will not meet him in future again.
There is some amusement between them when he discovers that Olga found out his peeking. She teases him with it, by opening deliberately her right leg (she can move best) a few times. Although it costs her some extra pain, she feels it is worth to have some distraction in this miserable situation she is in…. There is a sudden juvenile behave between them. At last Olga gives him a hint. She does not mind his peeking and turns her torso towards him. He sees her struggle to do so, because her left hand refuses to cooperate. Grateful he accepts her offer and has the courage to explore her body with his eyes. Marcus Antonius will never forget her.
Olga is amazed about her own behavior. She really likes it to tease the boy, and she grants him to have a good look on her body. She can almost feel his eyes explore her body. Despite the pain she feels a sexual arousal building. It confuses Olga: Has she fallen in love?
NOTE: We allow Olga her moment of tenderness. But there can be an alternative explanation for this erotic event. A third party might be involved. Except for the young soldier one more companion joined in. A very lonely flesh eating fly, attracted by her half-opened vagina causes physic stimuli on some favorite spots. Olga lets him. The fly is not the main problem she has to deal with and at this moment he (or she?) is a friend.

Chapter 7C: Humiliation of Olga
It is high noon. The sun is on its hottest and Olga is the loneliest creature in the world, despite of the presence of the guard she likes, the fly and some hundreds of people who watch her from a distance.
Olga feels miserable. Her skin is in flames. All parts of her body hurt. Cramps ravage through her muscles and cause a pushing and pulling on the nails that has a devastating effect on the wounds. But the more cramp she has, the lessen she can move. She loses blood, but that dries up quickly. She can hardly sweat, because of hydration. The fly is not a friend anymore and the guard wobbles on his feet.
Olga knows that she will not leave this spot alive. The only thing she can do is to endure the torture and to wait. Waiting for a death she hopes will come soon, but until then she has to live this very short life yet to go. Each draught of breath causes Olga pain. She moans.
Olga has never hated the Romans before, but now she curses them. She knows that the soldiers and V.I.P.’s share an interest that conflicts with Olga’s. They hope that Olga’s death will be postponed as long as possible. For them Olga is like a clown with as main function to entertain them. When the sun will lose its strength, they return to have fun. Olga passes out.
The centurion approaches and sends the guard away. Olga does not notice it. Limb she hangs on the cross.
“He Olga, wake up”, he shouts for everybody to hear, “common give us a show!”
And with a weaker voice the others cannot hear: “This is the second time you disappoint me Olga. When you refused to cooperate in the camp that night, soldiers paid a fortune for a show you did not give. At least you can make it up with me. Just you and me.”
Olga tries to ignore him ….
“Show me your cunt and shake your tits baby. Give me a private show you flop of a whore”, he says angry.
The man does not exists for Olga ….
The centurion sits down on a rock with a parasol, a pint of beer and a dildo mounted on a stick. He waits patiently. He knows that the pain will intervene in his favor.
A while Olga manages it to keep her legs closed, but her attempts to begrudge his triumph are in vain. Olga cannot avoid to give him a close view on her sex. Exhausted she knows she is defeated. He will have his joy. He won (of course) and silent she waits what he will do to her.
The man takes the stick with the dildo.
To show piety for Olga, we leave them in private ….
