The Man: Staring at the chopping block with true boredom in his eyes.
The Executioner: You do not fear death?
The Man: I do not cling to life, there is a difference.
Raising his axe The Executioner asks the man. "What difference?"
The Man: We know that life and death are two sides of the same coin, one side the beginning the other the end. But in reality there is no end only two different beginnings. I have had my fill of adventure in life, my ups and downs, my greatest of pleasures, and the worst of pains. "Smiling The Man said" It was great, I would change not one thing, not one weave within the tapestry of my story. So you see, one such as I can only imagine what truly awaits me in death.
Do you see now?
Thinking... The Executioner said aloud "Yes...I suppose your right".
The bell tolls/ an axe falls/ A mans head roles.
And so it was at that moment
The Executioner stared at a face that reflected not one hint of the usual pain or fear he had seen in so many from days past and surely days to come. No, in his final seconds this man showed contentment and a gleeful exuberance shined in his eyes. It looked as though he saw something... beyond. Something far away.
The Executioner smiled, whispering under his breath safe travels and epic journeys for this strange strange man. His life was done but his death had only just begun.
