When the judge asked Fred how he wanted to be executed, he said that he wanted a firing squad.
“But instead of a last cigarette, I’d like one of those e-cigarettes,” he said. “Vaping is much healthier than standard cigarettes.”
Then he asked for a virtual reality headset. “A blindfold shows you nothing. So, in my imagination, I’ll see a firing squad. I want to see something else.”
So, on that fateful day, they gave him his e-cigarette, and they gave him his VR gear.
They turned on the headset and showed him a beautiful meadow.
With a gallows platform.
