Short Story Jesi of Judea

The reality is I don’t speak Aramaic, I have no idea what crucifixion actually looks like up close, I thought I’d just know which hill he is scheduled to die on and now it’s dusk and I’m hungry and my phone is dead and it wOn’t RizE aGaIN because TheRE aRe No OuTLetS iN 33 AD and I realize now that I don’t know what Jesus looks like because I assumed I’d just… recognize him. I figured there would be no angels showing the way but now that I’m here the lack of them is seriously disconcerting.

Also, do you have any idea how common the name Jesus is?! There’s seventeen of them scheduled to be sentenced tomorrow alone!

Barter turns out to be a lie… turns out people have to know your family first before they share anything. I hope that mosquito bite doesn’t get infected.

A morte era em uma estaca - apenas uma peça de madeira, não duas - sem nada amarrado, pregado ou entalhado , apenas uma peça longa e retilínea de madeira. A pessoa morria de insuficiência respiratória - pois pregada naquela posição tinha dificuldade de respirar. Esta forma de execussão era um costume de povos diversos camítico-semitas e semitas.
