I Kill Black

Chapter 4

It had been two months since Seth's interview with James. His head had been shaved, no trace of hair on his head. A day before Seth was executed he was offered his last meal but declined to have anything. As Seth sat in his cell a lot of memories were going through his mind. He was starting to feel regret but it was only because he knew he was about to be executed. Seth stands up and paces around his cell. His cell was so small that you could reach both ends of the room by spreading your hand out in a T-pose. He had a toilet in that same room, a small tv that only played one channel.

"Hey, it's time big fella", mike the officer said. He had come to get Seth to take him to the execution room. As he stood outside the cell.

"How are you feeling?", Mike asked.

"I am so excited, can't you tell?", Seth said with a sarcastic tone.

"Ahh, keep mocking, you'd soon be dead and I would still be here...you know, living and not dead.", Mike teased.

Officer Mike opens a small rectangular opening on the door, it was meant to cuff prisoners before letting them out. Mike cuffed Seth, he opens the door. As they walk down a narrow path, make a left, a right. Seth spotted a door that was obviously the room he was about to be executed in, it had a big sign that said "EXECUTION ROOM". Seth stares at the sign, he was so scared he peed a little.

"Mike I am afraid", Seth said letting his humanity show for a minute.

"How do you think your victims felt when they realized you were about to kill them huh?" Mike replied, feeling no pity for Seth whatsoever. "Suck it up, tough guy."

Seth knew he was getting no sympathy from anyone around him.
As they reach the door, Mike opens the door. A large electric chair was placed in the middle of the room. Seth was strapped up to the chair by Mike with extra force from two other officers that were already in the room.

There was a see-through window right in front of the chair. Seth could see his parents, Walter and Ingrid Klaus, Kyle and Petra were also seated. At the extreme back were James and his camera crew, he was there, just as he promised.

As Seth saw his family, he cried. It was the first time in a long time his parents and siblings saw a vulnerable side to him. James was surprised he could see Seth cry.
" I love you, mom. Dad, I love you too", Seth yelled as tears dripped down his beautiful blue eyes. He looked over to Kyle and Petra. "Thank you for ruining my life", he said, the ugliness of the hate he had for African Americans started to show. Klaus and Petra felt sorry for him but not a single teardrop came from their eyes, Seth had put them through a lot in their teenage years, they had little to no emotions towards him.

A large and muscular bald man walked into the execution room. He walked towards Seth, He had a wet towel in his hand, he dabbed it on Seth's head, placed a metal cap on his head.

The large man, Mike, and the other officers took several steps back away from Seth. Mike pulls a lever that sends a jolt of electricity to the metal cap Seth had on his head.

Right away Seth's body went into shock, his pupils went upwards making his eyes plain white. His body convulsing, fingers shaking and blood dripping from his nose.

Mike turns off the lever, the flow of electricity stops, Seth's head drop down, his chin touching his chests. The large man walks up to Seth's body, pulls out a stethoscope to check for his heartbeat, there was nothing, he was dead.

Ingrid yells out in tears, her eyes were as red as a beet, Walter by her side trying his best to comfort her while tears dripped down his eyes.

Kyle, Petra, James, and his crew stared at Seth as his lifeless body was carried away by the officers. They were speechless, they all had just witnessed has someone's life taken away for the first time.

November 15, 1990, Seth Klaus was announced dead.
