As I stare at the 4 same grey walls I know I don't have long left before they execute me. It is my own fault I have to say sorry to the families of the men I killed. I truly am sorry for what I have done. It was a cold dark foggy night and I am trying to get away from my abusive husband. I have tried to leave him before but he always manages to get me back by saying he will change and he is sorry but he never is. This time is different though I am nearly there my sweaty hand reaches for the door handle and someone grabbed my from behind dragging me back by my hair. WHERE DO YOU THINK YOUR GOING!!!!!.
