My friend, my love battered bloody through the streets of Jerusalem by the angry mob.

I feel every blow.

This was a mistake.

He falls at my feet.

"I forgive you," he groans, and falls.

I should not have pointed him out.

I kneel to help him up, but I am pulled back by two Roman soldiers.

"Thank you, Iscariot," says one, the other tossing me a bag.

Clink.

I pour out the silver coins into my hand.

Twenty-eight.
Twenty-nine.
Thirty.

He asked me to do this. He wanted to die.

I throw down the coins and scream "WHY?"

Silence.
