She sat silently on the cold, concrete bench, hands chained, her eyes hollow from days without sleep. She had accepted her fate \u2014 in just hours, she would be executed. Accused of a crime she swore she didn\u2019t commit, no lawyer, no appeal. Just silence. And the steady ticking of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
