I like a man who can see the positive side to his predicament. He might have gone far, if he’d been allowed to.
Every cloud has a silver lining! Nice one.

Chilling!
At least he had a moment of peace before dying? Creative take on the prompt. 🙂
Now there is a man who loved his work. Nicely done.i
Live by the snoutie die by the snoutie?
That’s one most practical way to put it.
Well, thank goodness (or badness) for small miracles. Ouch. Gulp?
Ha ha! Indeed.
This is a way to see positive in a bad situation.
I did not realize torture had become so personalized! You recreated his final moments well. I think there might be a typo in the last paragraph:did you mean every, instead of very?
Beautifully done. Very creative take.
OMG this is wild.. Well at least it ends on a positive note!!
I like his positive outlook even in the darkest time!
Death by snoutie!
