an excerpt
I died. It was the hottest day in September of 1723, and one of the last things I remember was feeling faint as I climbed the stairs to the drop. Beads of perspiration rolled down my cheeks and dripped like candle wax onto the wood floor. I remember staring down at the wet-speckled planks, asking for a cloth to wipe my face. Strange I should think it bothersome when I was about to die.
