The vacationing couple walked along the secluded beach, when they came upon a curious sight: A local young woman was lying on a wooden surface, naked and blindfolded. Her limbs were chained to it, and her neck was held by two closed metal cuffs, padded on the inside. Between these cuffs, left of her neck, was a hinge connected to a large blade, allowing it to pass between them. The whole structure looked very solid and firmly rooted to the ground.

Sarah: "I've read about this. They believe that killing in cold blood is very bad luck. So they leave convicts out like this, to be killed in anonymity. This way the bearer of the bad luck doesn't get treated differently."

The woman didn't seem to notice them, and had something in her ear. Will examined her. She was sweaty. Her breasts were very pert, and moved as she breathed, rather rapidly. Her pubes did not hide what lied beneath them. He found himself getting hard, and looked at her neck.

Will: "Well… What should we do?"

Sarah: "I don't think we should do anything. This is none of our business."

Will: "They don't want to do anything about her, either. But… She can't stay like this. She must be thirsty."

Sarah: "We can't help her. If we do it could be us in those things next. Let's just go."

Will: "We CAN help her. I know what it's like to die of dehydration. If I had to choose, I'd choose something quick."

Sarah: "If you put it like that… I suppose it's better. But can you really do it?"

Will reached out to the blade's handle, stopping short of it, and looked at the woman's face. He told himself that this is the right thing to do, even if it doesn't feel like it. And maybe she deserves it. What if she is a murderer, and someone will free her? He tried not to think about him wanting to do it, only needing to. He took another good look across her body, and grabbed the handle, slowly bringing it toward him and then holding it with both hands. There was a creak, alarming her.

Woman: "Eh teno?!"

Will froze with his eyes opened wide, while Sarah instinctively looked around to see if they were not alone. With all his strength he brought the blade down, letting it go as it passed through the neck loudly.

Blood shot. The head fell with a thump as the body stood up, pulling on the chains and rattling them, squirting blood that flowed over it. Sarah covered her mouth, and Will stumbled back and came in his pants.

The body seemed to run out of blood when it fell back down. Will checked himself, seeing that he looked clean. He crouched and looked at the head, its mouth slightly open.

Will: "Is there anything more we should do?"

Sarah put her hands on his shoulders.

Sarah: "No. We're supposed to just leave her like this. Let's go."

They left the bloodied remains. Will was reminded of the other time he came just from looking at a woman, long ago as an inexperienced teenager. Over time, the shock left, and they looked at the memory more fondly as the unique experience that it was. They regretted not filming it.
