2009.26 - A Jealous ManRain keeps threatening to return.  Intermittent drops spray us, carried on the wind from where it is raining a few miles West, and each time we fear the worst.  For the soldiers, it would be added misery in what is already a miserable detail.  Watch a prisoner, handicapped by shackles, dig a hole; could it be any worse?  Yes, it could be raining.   
 For me, the rain would be a bigger impediment to my digging than the shackles are.  And now, three feet deep, the shackles are becoming an increasingly frustrating constraint.  As the distance I have to throw the dirt incr 2009.26 - A Jealous Man

2009.25 - In a HoleDigging is generally the kind of work you just want to get done, so it'll be over.  Something done out of necessity: you need a hole, there's no-one else you can get to do it, and holes don't dig themselves.  Not something you take your time over and enjoy.  No-one goes recreational digging.  Digging as a means to a recreational end, yes, but not digging as an end in itself.  When you're digging your own grave, getting it done means it'll all be over.   
 After escorting my mother and the Esbonwyr from the prison, the guard returned almost immediately, brandishing chains. & 2009.25 - In a Hole

2009.24 - The PromiseElisabeth is still asleep when I return to my cell.  Or perhaps pretending to be.  I whisper her name, but she doesn't respond.  No twitch, no alteration in her breathing.  She is sleeping more peacefully than I ever have.  More peacefully than I would expect someone in a prison bed to sleep.   
 Out of the window, I can just about make out the gallows in the pre-dawn light.  They still manage to look ominous, though not as threatening as they did yesterday.  Facing West, I cannot see the Sun cresting the horizon, but I watch as the sky brightens and colour r 2009.24 - The Promise

2009.23 - Five Minutes AloneIf you knew the hour of your death, what would you do?  If you knew there was no tomorrow, how would that affect today?  If your last evening was behind you, and your last morning approaching, how would you prepare for that morning?   
 Would you sleep?  Would you be able to sleep?  Would you want to sleep?  Extra waking hours versus being freshly rested for the big event.  Would you lie in?  Lie ins are nice.  Everyone likes to lie in.  A morning wrapped up cosily in a duvet, isn't that the best?  If it's your last morning, afte 2009.23 - Five Minutes Alone

You're welcome, there was a lot of good stuff in your gallery, but I'm stingy with my :+fav:s and I thought 065 was brilliant. I might take the Hundred Theme Challenge - since I learnt to play guitar I haven't written much that hasn't been set to music - but you've inspired me!
