In the 5th floor of a high rise apartment, around sunset, Selma is watching the daily executions sitting in front of the tv in an awkward position. She sits in way where she looks childish. Her expressions is first of denial then in that of horror. she’s is listening motionless to the tv announcements.
Announcer 1- Coming up next is a lost soul identified as Jeremy Hall.
Announcer 2- Mr. Hall was found outside of the remnant last week having relations with another man.
Announcer 1- It must of been a horrible sight to come across.
Announcer 2- I agree with you, I would’ve shot them right there in the middle of their act. That would be the best thing for these depraved dogs.
Announcer 1- Yes, I think executing them without a chance of redemption is the right and only way to treat them!
Announcer 2- Isn’t it so great that we live in a country where we give homosexuals a second-
Announcer 1- Father is now escorting him up to the offering square. This would make Mr. Hall the 7th and final offering for today
The perspective then changes to Jeremy with the father walking up to the Guillotine.
Father is dressed in a traditional priest outfit with the exception of the collar.
Jeremy is dressed in an outfit reminiscent of a concentration outfit with a shaved head with shackles that bind his arms together. The Crowd is yelling like they are at sports game. Jeremy is kneeled down on the Guillotine as the priest moves in front of him.
Father- For the sins committed against the will of the NAC, do you repent my misguided lamb so that the lord may have mercy and grants you solace for what awaits you in the eternal fire?
Jeremy- Fuck you! *Jeremy spits at the Father
Jeremy changes his direction to the crowd
Jeremy- I am an innocent man! Being put to death by a religion that promised all of us a fruitful life! I’ve done more than this government ever can do for all of mankind! Ive saved people that this country wants gone!
Father address the crowd with arms up like he is trying to calming down the crowd.
Father- A homosexual can not save people! This person spouts nonsense!
Father then turns his attention to Jeremy.
Father- The only thing your kind is able to do is corrode the morality of The Voice’s people and defile the laws of nature! If you can’t repent for your crimes, then there’s nothing I can do for your soul.
As the father finishes his line he goes behind the Guillotine to prepare it and at this point Jeremy knows there is no escape from his fate.
Jeremy- What do I have to do so you can believe me?! Fuck a women in front of you! Im telling you, Im an innocent man!
Father- Please, there is no reason to be so vulgar. Having relations with a man is vulgar enough.
Jeremy- Fuck you!
The father then walks to face the on lookers that are watching the executions he shouts out the court mandates.
Father- For all that is good and green in this world, I am the Shepard of flesh! I will deliver this ruined world to salvation!
Jeremy- By killing people you mad man!
Crowd- Cut that faggots head off!
Father- I, by the ruling of the higher court, am casting Jeremy Hall to the eternal fire for the greater good of our people. The separation of the heart and mind will exhaust anything that is impure from the soul of man and in time, the gene that created Mr. Hall’s fallacious desires will be forgotten. He will be remembered as nothing more but a simple stepping stone to a better world. A world, where we will all bask in the light of The Voice!
Jeremy- Don’t listen to him! You are all going to be lead to a world of slavery!
The father turns around and gets on his knee to talk to Jeremy directly.
Father- Accept your fate like man, lost lamb. If you are capable of such task.
The father gets up and walks behind him to take his position as executioner, by this time Jeremy has accepted that he is going to die.
Father- Do you have any last words, there is still time to repent.
Jeremy- Father. Im afraid.
Father sighs*
Jeremy begins to cry.
Father- You should be.
The crowd is going crazy and even some begin the count down as the father is getting ready.
Crowd- 3… 2… 1…
A distant shot.
Then the guillotine is dropped and Jeremy’s head falls. The crowd is going crazy as Father picks up his head and throws it into the sacrificial fire. The rest of Jeremy is taken somewhere else.
The perspective is then changed back to Selma who is just in tears. By then her husband Daniel is coming back from work.
Daniel- Selmaaa, Im home. I got you something special, something you like.
He has bouquet of roses with him.
He walks to the living room to find Selma in the living room crying, he throws the flowers on the floor and rushes to Selma.
