Last torture for Mircea Vulcănescu

I happened to be kicked out of the lot for torture in the same series with Mircea Vulcănescu.

My ordeal was over and I was lying in a corner on the floor. Next up was Mircea Vulcănescu. After beating him all over his body (I lost count of how many times), he collapsed into unconsciousness. He was covered in blood. A big gypsy grabbed him by the leg and pulled him along the ground. His head was moving back and forth like a ball tied with a string, being pulled by a child at play.

As he walked right past me, I crawled over to give him a hug and cheer him on. Thankfully, he was still alive. The gypsy who was dragging him shoved me away with his boot to the chest, which took my breath away.

I think that was the last straw for the brave man. They tried to bring him round by dousing him with cold water, but it had the opposite effect and he ended up with a lung infection. He died a few days later, adding one more to the graves of the unknown men in the neighbouring field.
