The Galley Murder

[Selski]

____________________________________________________

It was a dark wintry night in England.  No idea which century, but a long long time ago.

A friend of mine was on trial and I knew she would be executed.  The trial was going to take place on a wooden galley ship.

I had booked into a hotel by the port in order that I could be with my friend in her last few hours for support.  

I walked onto the ship.  I didn't know where my friend was, but I knew she was onboard somewhere.  It was quiet and atmospheric.

A shiphand came to walk alongside me.  He was also part of the ship's trial judges and I knew that he was against my friend - and that in turn he was against me, for being a friend of the accused.

He led me to a quiet part of the ship, whilst talking to me.  I knew intuitively what was going on.  I was calm and peaceful, and knew that this was my fate.  I showed no fear.  

I knew without a doubt that I was about to be murdered.

He cornered me and asked me if I believed in god.  "No," I said.  He then asked if I'd left my contact details at the hotel.  "Yes," I said, thinking this might worry him.

I then wondered how I was going to die - would it be with a knife?

Just then, another man came out of the shadows and grabbed me around the neck.  I knew then that I was going to die of a broken neck, and with this thought, I relaxed and moved my head so he wouldn't mess it up, and would break it cleanly.

As he broke my neck, I awoke extremely calm.

I wonder if the above is a past/alternate life?  It certainly was one of those more vivid and "realistic" dreams.  

I don't recall who the friend was, what she was on trial for or anything like that.  Once I'd awoke, I wondered whether both my friend and I were witches and she'd been found out.  I was implicated, but they couldn't put me to trial, however "everyone" knew that I was a witch too, hence it was in "their" best interests to get rid of me as well.  

Rather gruesome way to die.  But quick though.

Very interesting read! I suppose it's possible that it was from a past life...perhaps someone else on here with more knowledge in this subject could help you out.
