stga: Can you imagine how much this girl kicked and jerked and shuddered as she was strangled?
GaryGurl: Oh yes, only too well! ... I imagine ...
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
She was trying to be dignified as they forced her to sit on the garrote and chained her ankles to the post. Despite her nakedness she was trying to be brave. That changed as they latched the collar around her throat. Then she began to panic, squirming and pleading, struggling in place, unable to move due to the shackles and collar keeping her pinned.
Her sentence was read, loudly, as she was starting to wail in fear and scream for mercy at this point. Then the order was given, and the executioner took their place behind the post. The victim, noticing the end was near, shook her head as much as she could, twisting her body from side to side, the collar already holding her neck in place.
The executioner twisted the handle very slightly, not even a half turn.
The victim screamed in utter terror, eyes wide, body slick with sweat, assuming the garrote was tighter than it was. She soon realized she could still breathe, although not move her head anymore, and sobbed.
The executioner waited a moment, allowing the condemned to take in several gasps of air, before turning the handle half a turn.
Her whole body lurched, shackles clanking, bound hands twisting. The condemned's mouth gaped, wheezing dramatically, still breathing, though shallowly now. Her belly heaved and her breasts bobbed. She was starting to be in pain now, true pain, and her eyes watered. She spluttered pleas, which were garbled by her tongue. Her eyes wandered this way and that for someone to beg for mercy. The witnesses gave her no such comfort.
The executioner turned the handle another short turn.
Now the condemned writhed, legs kicking as best they could constrained by the chains, revealing her most intimate parts to the witnesses. Her hips bucked up and down, twisting side to side, lifting her entire body from the garrote post several times. Her arms, tied as they were, stretched out, fingers grasping the air. The garrote slowly forced her tongue out of her mouth, dripping saliva down onto her chest. A very thin and desperate noise issued from her throat: she was still breathing, a very small trickle of air was making its way into her lungs.
The executioner waited quite some time, as the condemned shuddered and struggled in place, movements becoming weaker, that horrible thin sound still persisting. Her shackles rattled as her legs jerked. Cold sweat shone on her skin. The chilly room made her nipples harden, though several of the witnesses were now sweating as if from heat.
The executioner gave the garrote a final twist, and stepped back from the garrote.
The condemned squirmed in place, shackles clanking faintly, eyes wide and watering, staring wildly around the room. Her mouth moved frantically, but no air reached her lungs anymore. Her chest heaved soundlessly and her hips bucked up and down, up and down, and then left to right, left to right.
Her chin began to dip towards her chest, from the pressure of the garrote collar, and her eyelids began to droop.
Her body fluttered slightly one last time, toes wiggling and chest heaving again, and a stream of liquid dripped down along the wooden slat onto the floor beneath her.
She twitched briefly, her toes and fingers mostly, and then fell still.
After several minutes of stillness, the executioner approached and felt for a pulse on her wrist. He found none.
Based on a conversation I had with stga a while ago about an image from the amazing artist bor. Posted at his urging that I share the story publicly. A quick little story.
Well, I'm the later on you. And the other guy has gone on a long trip unexpectedly. And that he won't be writing.
There are lots of good part to this story. The most chilling part for me is right after the partial first turn of the handle and her initial panic. She realizes at that point she can still breathe. That has got to feel good in a way. But it also lets her know the overall process will not go quickly, and there’s nothing she can do to speed it up or slow it down.
Did you have a picture in mind when you wrote this? Your story kind of reminds me of this great image: djetla.deviantart.com/art/Anot…
Thank you very much!
She's forced (against her will) to put on quite a show for the witnesses. It's an undignified way to go, but something I'm sure the onlookers will remember.
Very undignified, yes, but it's part of the execution. She has to put on a show, whether she wants to or not. And yes, the onlookers will remember this for some time ...

Thank you for pointing out your favorite moment, and why! I love feedback like that!
Yes, that's a very exciting moment. She thinks perhaps it's all over that fast, and then realizes that no, this will be slow and dreadful.

I did have an image in mind, but I can't seem to locate it again, it's lost in a chain of emails. It was similar to that one though. Thank you for the link!
I enjoyed reading it.
Thanks for sharing.
I'm glad you enjoyed reading it, I enjoyed writing it. What was your favorite part?
And the very end, after the last twist of the handle, when she really feels that this will be her end.
My favorite is when she began to struggle strongly, flailing about as best she could strapped to the post.
Thank you for the comment!
Yes, while hanging is rather more visually dramatic, in a larger way, garroting makes the victim more vulnerable and, as you point out, subject to the whims of the executioner entirely. Utterly helpless, can't even struggle as much as they'd like to. At least with hanging you could kick all you liked until your strength left you.
I think you managed to capture the erotic details that show off a garroting at it's best.
Thank you! I'd hoped so, a quick little snapshot of the best details.
I like how the executioner plays with the condemned.
I guess we should also thank stga for the urging
Yes I agree, we need more garrottings. They can be very controlled after all, and thus even nastier than a hanging, and there's something rather unsettling about the condemned's feet never really leaving the ground as they strangle.
I like how the executioner plays with the condemned.
Me too! Bit of a sadist, but the executioner is also putting on a show for the witnesses, which is what is expected.

You certainly should!
Not to forget the interesting (in your story well described!) buckling and squirming that happens on such a device.

It seems a requirement for the job and as you said it's also expected!
You certainly should!
Thanks for urging stga!
Thank you very much! And yes, that is a vital part of the execution on such a device!

True, very true. The execution described here is also a performance of sorts, for the witnesses gathered. It is not meant to be quick or painless for the condemned, it is meant to be a show of justice, but still a show.
When garroted in this position, the victim...with their feet in the air...feels like they are being hanged. This leads to stimulating vocal sounds and a long writhing, gurgling, throttling show that is exquisite to watch. More throat garrotings like that.
GaryGurl...your garroting was well thought out....and very stimulating.
That's a good point! Very true, there are ways to garrote someone with their feet not touching the floor ...

Seems almost rude, to cheat them of a proper hanging and give them the halfway point between a hanging and a garrotting.

You paint quite the picture ... lovely idea ...

Thank you very much! Happy to entertain!
