“Who would have said it all would end like this brother … nailed to crosses and left to die as common criminals?”
“Arghhh, the nails they drove through my feet are killing me!”
“If only they hadn’t caught us red-handed with the goods outside the governor’s villa.”
“Yes, bad luck that, but what I can’t figure out is why the crowd…look at them, they can’t really be here to watch a couple of common thieves, like the two of us, get our just rewards?”
“No, they’re not here for us you fool….they have come to witness the crucifixion of that crazy woman who has been going around claiming she is the Messiah.”
“Condemned to hang here with you, brother, is bad enough, but I don’t relish sharing the experience with some crazy, hallucinating bitch … it’s shameful.
“Look here she comes…they are driving her up the hill with whips…look at her stagger under the weight of her patibulum … hardly looks like a Messiah to me….nice hanging udders though; maybe having her raised up beside us won’t be such a bad thing after all.”
“I still don’t like it.”
“They are throwing her down on the stipe now … ripping away the last of her clothing…there goes her little loin cloth…oh, dear, brother, look down at that....she is beautiful!”
“Yeah, grant you that …such a mane of long shiny black hair, and between her thighs … oh what I would do with her if I wasn’t nailed up here.”
“And those nice full tits… look at the way they sway and shake as they nail her wrists …damn I am getting a hard on!”
“They’ve nailed her feet now…her knees are spread; she is wide open…listen to her howl!”
“Looks like they are going to raise her between us now…the crowd is closing in for a closer look …yes, here she comes!”
“She is up…look at her swing out and arch her back…I’ve never seen such smooth tawny skin… and such luscious dark nipples…such erotic contortions …it’s almost enough to make me forget my own pain!”
“And those eyes…those enthralling, compelling…dark almond brown eyes…so captivating …no wonder so many people were lured into worshiping her … she is like a goddess!”
“But look brother, she is no Messiah; she has no power to save herself. The blood runs from where the nails have pierced her wrists and feet; the whip marks do not fade from her body, and she gasps, and writhes and struggles pitifully on her cross just like you and me, or anyone else… look at how her head lolls about, her ribs stick out, the swear pours from her pores, and look at how she loses control of herself and cries out for mercy and help.”
“Yes, my brother…she is no better than us…like you said before…just a crazy, hallucinating bitch …the crowd is already tiring of the spectacle…many already seem distracted…soon they will disperse and we will be left alone to die … with her incessant wailing and crying ringing in our ears.”
A new and very nice perspective Barb, thanks! Made me wish I was one of the thives!
