Salute To The General

I'm done for...

I'm doomed...

There was nothing but despair in Nelson's eyes.

As Nathan stared at Nelson, he asked, "What else do you have to say?"

Nelson stuttered, "P-President Cross, I know I've done wrong. But please, give me a chance. I'm willing to leave Eurasia and never return. Please spare my life!"

The crowd shifted their attention to Nathan.

Then, they heard Nathan say, "You've chosen a path of no return; you've chosen death, so how am I supposed to let you live after you've made your choice? If someone who has turned against their country can be forgiven, then no crimes will warrant the death penalty." The death penalty!

A shudder wracked through Nelson's body. Even though he was no longer a young man, he was still afraid of death.

At that instance, he was like a drowning man who was desperate to cling to anything that would save his life.

When Nelson realized that his pleas for mercy fell on deaf ears, he turned to the others around him. However, it was impossible for Zion and the rest to beg for mercy on his behalf.
