judge
executioner
I work at the local prison. I keep to myself most of the time. I don't have a lot of friends.
Aye, orders are orders. Let me get this guillotine ready.  You are new to town, no? How many people have you executed before? More than I can remember. Hundreds if not thousands.  I can't decide which is the worst: deciding who is to be executed or being the one to do it. The one who puts the name on the docket. The executioner is only following orders Are you ever haunted by those you have executed? Only once. A little girl some 30 years ago. I can still hear her screams as the blade slipped into her neck, every night before I sleep. I can only imagine. I'm a very understanding judge, we do not perform many executions in this town. Have you ever thrust a knife into a human, Judge? Only animals. Why do you ask? Because today, your name has appeared on my execution docket.  Please, no. I didn't know that she was actually a he.
