The muzzle was pressed against the back of my head, and the sound of the bolt being pulled echoed in my ears like an explosion, making my head ache.
I remember a friend from the Provincial Armed Police Headquarters telling me during a meal that the firing squad had many members and carried out executions every few months, not always with just one person.
During the execution, they were required to hit the target with one shot, emphasis on hitting, not necessarily killing with one shot. He said he often saw cases where one shot didn't kill. The shots were all fired from behind the head, and if you looked at the front after the shot, there would be a large hole in the forehead. After firing, brain matter and blood mixed with skull fragments would spray out, and then they would use a wire to stir the remaining brain matter through the bullet hole at the back of the head to ensure the prisoner's death.
I never thought that now it's my turn to kneel here and wait for the gunshot.
