Penance At The Gallows
01
This is a short fiction story... [A death row prisoner sat alone in his isolation cell when an otherworldly portal appears and a gentleman in a black suit walks out: 'I'm penance. You can say I'm your new roommate until you are executed... I feed on overwhelming guilt and desire to punish yourself, and I'm here to collect.'
The prisoner begins to confess the atrocities of his life as a gun for hire, and the guilt that finally consumed him, as he awaits execution.]
