The man smiles sadly. He points to the gun in your hand, then to the button, then makes scales with his hands, weighing them up and down.

My hands fall to their sides, lifelessly. "No, please..." I'm afraid my voice isn't going to come out evenly.

The man reaches out and puts a hand on your forearm. He looks into your face, eyes serious.

I let my head hang, finally giving up. I remain silent for a moment. "If...if I manage to get out, is there someone you would want me to track down, so I can send them your love or something?"

He shakes his head slowly, tears welling in his eyes. He gestures to his mouth weakly, then writes on the table with his fingernails again:
171 Craigmour Avenue
Strouden Park

I look at the table, committing it to memory. "Did you have a wife?" I say with a weak smile. "Or kids?"

He gives a strange sound that might have been a chuckle and nods again.

"I'll...deliver the message. Is there....anything else?"

The Condemned man shakes his head and stares at the floor. A tear drops onto the stone floor.

I walk over and embrace the man. "Thank you..." I whisper.

He returns the embrace and looks away.

"Thank you again, and...good bye..." I walk over to the machine, my hand hovering over the "on" button, but I can't push down. I wait, almost wishing he'd add something else in, just so this can be delayed.
