Below is the final scenarios of a novel I collected many years ago. The plots of the whole novel are like this: Four high school kids with ages from 15 - 17 completed many daunting tasks for the government; but finally their identities slipped during a task and the dark corporations knew the confidential information they had. Then, the spy agency had to execute these young men. In the morning of their execution, the agency allowed them some free time. The first part below is leader of the guys, Sam, went to see his girlfriend Sarah for the last time.
Sarah walked in the small little cabins in the backyard with him. Its small size made this noon time in July even hotter. Three years ago when they first fell in love with each other, they sit here for the first time; and now, it should be the last time forever before Sam set his way to the other side of the world.
Sam sit on the bench against the wall with Sarah. She palmed her hand on his left pec. Through the cotton sport vest, she felt that thin, solid, well-shaped chest, moreover, the young beating heart, for the last time.
"Don't you scare?" Sarah asked in a tender tone.
"Actually I do." Tom sighed, but then smiled.
"No you don't", Sarah insisted, "your heartbeat is so steady and slow!"
"Aha that's nothing to do with being calm," He said with playful and witty eyesight behind his fair hair strand, "I am good at swimming and skiing, that's why I have slow heartbeat!"
.........
They sit in silence for a while. Before Sam left, Sarah asked "How can I meet you again?"
"Many years later in heaven maybe hahaha"
"Do you know where you will rest?"
"Have no idea yet...dare you see my body tomorrow?"
Sarah said nothing. Maybe that is a "yes"? Or your boyfriend would look creepy when he is lying there without breath?
The next scene is the execution of four young men. They had not known how they would be executed before entering the room.
They were carried to a small bungalow in the woods miles away from the agency headquarter. Two soldiers escorted them into it. And to the boys' disappointment, they saw four nooses dangling from the beam, only simply tied in an O shape.
Jamie asked a soldier, "Shouldn't we be executed in a soldier's way?"
Sam added, "Like...firing squad? Or simply gun shooting?"
"You guys are still young boys", the soldier answered in a sad and depressed tone, "pain will intensively attack your chest after the bullet penetrate?"
The boys laughed at this remark -- they had experienced so many physical pain, not only in their chests!
"But we can die like soldiers", Sam said, "try to hold the breath and don't struggle when the nooses strangle us tight!"
"No you can not stop struggling when you are hanged, boys." A soldier told them seriously.
Anyway, they started preparing themselves for the death now.
To get the heart monitor attached, they all took off their tank tops and T-shirts. Look like they were exhibiting their well-built chest, shoulders, arms and abs -- show off that they were all good teen athletes in running, swimming, kickboxing and so on?
The last process was to check their armpits -- this was only a matter of routine, showing that they did not hide anything there. But in a hot day in July, this action did spread the typical teen boys' odour around the room.
Then, two soldiers began arranging them for death.
The first was Sam. Tying up his ankles and also hands behind, the soldier said "It feels a little bit suffocating at the first tens of seconds, then you'll be fine". Bench kicked away, Sam started his journey. Then Chris, Jamie and Tom.
Now four pairs of converse hightop shoes suspended there without motion. As they promised, they did not struggle, locking the pain of suffocation in their chest. The heart monitor told that their heart rates were all over 100 bpm. But normally it should be less than 50 bpm. However, after 1 minute, their feet started twitching and their eyes had rolled back. They finally realized that noose hang was not equal to breath-holding, like they used to play as a challenge. Few minutes later, some greasy liquid was squeezed out on their underwear. Perhaps, like all teenage guys, they were feeling some excitation, but just for the last time?
20 minutes later, their heart rate appeared to be zero. The soldiers released them down from the nooses. Lying on the gurneys prepared for them, they all had their eyes opened. And also, they all arched their pecs full of sweat.
It was painful; but they could not feel it.
