I wished I could look back in time. But no one truly can.
All the mistakes I had made, I could never go back and change... but at this moment in my life, I was facing the biggest challenge of all.
That being... moving forward. Being in the now.
The now however was a scary place... whereas the past was safer. It had already happened.
The guard slowly put the electric chair's helmet over my head and asked me slowly.
"Any regrets..?"
I bet he wanted me to say,
' Yeah... that I murdered that girl,'.
But I said nothing.
The guard only scoffed at me, adding, "No last words...?"
I watched him carefully, as I began to grin.
"Like your daughter had none as she lay there dying...?"
He stared at me, GLARED at me and slammed the helmet to my head. That was the one thing I wished I could go back and change.
Instead of killing his daughter... I wished I had killed him as well with her.
I could feel the electricity course through my body, and my eyeballs felt like they were sizzling.
" Any last words..?" I had asked her, and she nodded to me, tears in her eyes.
" Just don't tell Daddy that I wanted this"
Don't tell Daddy... that promise I kept.
And now I was dead... my short life hidden in the past...
I wished I could go back in time, but no one truly can...
I was lost to the winds of time itself now... because of a deed I could never take back.
So I had taken the punishment... and I was glad.
I was gone...
