I Don't Want To Die

I walk this long and endless corridor to my death. My long chains rattle with each step I take.
2 steps
4 steps
6 steps
8 steps
10 steps
13 unholy steps
I didn't mean to kill those kids God. Please God, I don't want to die and if I do please take me up to heaven with daddy. Oh god oh god oh god please. I sob and I cry but the guards just take me up to the door. They open it to reveal a staircase descending down a big and empty space. Except it's not empty because there's a hanging thing. I never knew what it was called but now I guess I never will. The crowd makes my death worse, now people will watch my soul burn in hell.
But I'm not going to hell, right?
Right?
Please say yes.
