In 2039, the 43-year old Mr. Joshua Wong chi-fung was on the way to the `` dance Hall '' : this was the unofficial designation of this room which had never been used for any frolicky activity. Joshua pressed the handle down and was satisfied that the door was still locked. He took a key out of his air hole and unlocked the heavy alloy door. The `` Dance Hall '' was a large windowless room. At its left face there were several rows of chairman. Josue looked to the opposite position and what he saw there filled him with atonement. Book of Joshua moved towards the wooden platform, which took the whole breadth of the `` Dance hallway ''. In a top of about 4 m there was a solid steel balance beam : three white-dressed flesh were hanging on three ropes, which were fastened to the beam above : According to the law it was not permitted to enter this room in the next two hours but Joshua was the gamy authority in the Beijing prison and cipher would deny him the right to check over if everything was in order here after the pass completion of the official office.

Today three immature girls had been executed by hanging : a drug principal, a manslayer and a cyprian hung side of meat by side in their Edward White little sleeved wearing apparel which all the sentence fair sex had to were during the slaying : with their white wind sock and sandals they looked almost ilk nurses or shoal female child. Only the rough circle with the midst coiled nooses formed a beastly direct contrast to the almost idyllic picture. Joshua entered the program and examined with obvious joy the three hanged girls.

All three hung nearly at the Same tiptop, their invertebrate foot, pointing downward, were only a few centimeters from the ground. Joshua went to the girl hanging next to him and moved and turned her lifeless body around. Her hands were still bound with handlock on the vertebral column. Where the alloy touched the wrist joint, bloody scratches could be seen."She had struggled a lot"he thought by himself. In addition, at her tender neck opening bloody roofy marks showed up, caused by the tightening of the slip noose.

Now he looked more closely at the faces of the felon. He was always fascinated how differently the hanged looked after they had died. The liquidator showed a pain-cramped human face, a vestige of bloody saliva ran from her oral fissure ( probable she had bitten herself in the tongue during her agony ), her eyes were wide open, the head was tilted sideways. The prostitute seemed to have got died nearly peacefully. The eyes were closed, the psyche was bended forward. Only the drug dealer showed all signaling of a dense throttling : the half-opened mouth and the out-pouring tongue. It seemed to be also the only one who during the execution had lost control over her bladder. On her otherwise impeccable white clothes a dirty-yellow urine mark showed up and under her feet one could see a little puddle. Josue took its digital tv camera and began taking pic of the attend missy. As a director of the womanhood 's prison house he had of row been pose during the carrying out and it was each meter an exciting experience to watch while charwoman were hanged with the"short driblet ”. Here was here no trapdoor through which the condemned fell. The felon simply stood on a workbench which was taken out under their infantry. For well-nigh looker the trembling and wiggling of the hanged girls was the most charge horizon they could reckon. It took mostly a proficient quarter of an time of day until the executed hung dead and still in the roach. Most spectators then took a few more photographs and left the"Dance Hall"...

For Joshua however it was the highlight of the day when the prescribed execution was over and when the doors had been locked : Now he had time to await privately after"his miss ”. According to the law they had to remain at least two hours at the gallows and actually it was not permitted to enter the area before this time was over. Josue however did not handle about these regulations. He now began to slowly turn back and forth one the hanged girls and enjoyed the survey of the dead corpse swaying around : then he pulled the young lady to the side and let her bouncing against her neighbor. This one began to swing and touched her neighbor at the right hand and within abruptly time the three bodies performed a queer ballet, touching themselves, swinging apart again apart, until after some minute all three came to catch one's breath again and hung quietly in the rope. Then he pulled each girl forward and let her swing back like a pendulum. He masturbated while watching the swinging stiff ...

One minute later Joshua left the execution sphere and locked the door carefully. Shortly he would return again with the prison physician, who had to certify the demise of the executed criminal. This was only a formality, as it was impossible that someone still survived after hanging two hours at the gallows. The doctor however took his job very seriously : he used a low dance step ladder, climbed up unbuttoned slowly the two upper buttons of the dress of the advert girls and listened with the stethoscope for eventual center beats."Exitus"- was then each time his laconic instruction, which was carefully noted down by the prison shop clerk. The Doctor even took the trouble of closing again the two buttons before he climbed down his ladder. Now the last formality was fulfilled. Two prison wardens stepped forwards, removed the handcuff from the dead lady friend and cut them off the roofy : The three dead body were laid on three gurneys and rolled out. They will be placed in the prison chapel where their relation can get them to the funeral.

Book of Joshua was satisfied. Tomorrow morning again an execution was scheduled : two sisters of 18 and 20 yr who had brutally murdered her parents.

The End
