Four thousand years of despair

"But that's so stupid. After all, you'd done!" I grinded my teeth in frustration. I was actually getting angry for someone else. It was a new feeling for me.

I was kept in a cell for an entire week and when my time to be executed came, I was poisoned. I passed out." He looked down. I could understand his pain.
