Hanging Execution

Sam was supposed to get a 6 month sentence, but then the warden came into his cell one day.

"Hello Sam, I have come here to inform you of some unfortunate news. You have been placed on death row."

"Wh-what? There must be some mistake!"

"The law has changed. Rebellion against the kingdom calls for capitol punishment. I'm sorry."

5 days prior to his sentence, Sam was arranged a meeting with the executioner. He dressed in his best suit and knocked on the door of the executioner's office.

"Come in."

There were 3 finely dressed men in the lush office. Two standing and one sitting behind a large oak desk. He stood when Sam entered and put out his hand.

"Good afternoon Sam, I'm Mr. Harkins and I will be your executioner. This is Dr. Farell, he will be overseeing the procedure, and this is Mr. Helm, a professional sex worker."

"A professional sex worker?" Sam asked, shaking his hand.

"Yes, the new law requires that you have a full erection before the procedure and that you maintain it after death. Mr. Helm here is to see to that. Angel lust, they call it. Funny thing, huh?"

Sam felt very hot. "Why would that be a law?"

"Our new Queen is a bit of a sexual sadist, we hear. She will be watching your execution on live stream." Upon seeing Sam's horrified expression, he said "Look at it this way. At least you will get to enjoy some of it."

"Mr. Harkins... no one has told me yet... what will be the...method?"

"Oh yes, a slow hanging."

"Slow hanging?"

"Yes. My job is to draw out your death for as long as possible and to make sure you suffer as much as possible. You see, the three of us work together. The doctor will monitor your health throughout the process, I will administer the pain, and Mr. Helm will ensure you maintain a sufficient amount of arousal for the erection."

He handed Sam a guidebook. "Now let's go over the step by step process. Have a seat."

Sam sat.

"On the appointed day, we will all four meet here at 11 am. You will strip naked and I will put you in your ceremonial loincloth. The doctor will give you a full physical exam. I will also be naked and the doctor will examine me to make sure I am fit for the job. Then we will walk together down the hall to the execution chamber. The doctor will do his second check and place a plug into your rectum. This is to ensure you don't release any waste as your brain is shutting down. It is also good for Mr. Helm's objective. I will then walk you to your rope and cinch it. I will read you your death warrant and final rites if you wish, and take down your last words. I will then use the ceremonial sword to cut the loincloth off you. Mr. Helm will stimulate you as he sees fit. When he gives the word, the doctor will preform one final exam. I will then turn the crank that lifts you slowly onto your toes and then one centimeter higher. This will give you the chance to be able to touch the floor but it will give you insufficient support. It is said to be frustrating and excruciating."

"Why are you going to be naked?" Sam asked.

"The roles of executioner and condemned are an intimate and serious relationship. I am to appear in kinship with you. I am also the only person allowed to touch himself during the proceedings."

Sam looked at Mr. Harkins' hard on through his pants. "You are going to... enjoy killing me?"

"Yes I will. I believe it is an appropriate aspect to the job."

Sam swallowed. He felt his own penis twitch a couple of times beneath his clothes.

"Do you have any other questions?"

"Am I permitted to ejaculate?"

"Yes, but understand that it may prolong your suffering if an erection needs to be built up again."

Sam nodded in understanding. They all shook hands a final time and Sam made his leave.
