Excerpt

She strode boldly up the stairs knowing that she was walking into her death. The wood beneath her boots creaked loudly. The noose hung lone among the hundreds of people ready to see the deserving criminal get what she so gratefully deserved. Her long black cape blew around her thin body. Her hood blackened her face but everyone could tell she was not afraid.
