11:59 PM

They're getting ready to strap me into the chair. Been on death row for seven years. They convicted me of murdering a woman.

I was beginning to wonder if it was ever going to happen. My lawyer said he's got enough evidence to have my conviction overturned if he can get the governor to stay the execution.

The phone rang just as they sat me in the hot seat. The warden was frowning.

"Get him up, boys. Governor called it off."

My lawyer came through. 11:59 PM.

You know what's funny?

That was the exact time I killed that bitch.
