Matthew, 10, breathed heavily as the noose was looped around his neck, and tightened to the point of choking him. His small frame shook with fear as a tear trickled down his face. His friends, Mark, 11, Marcus, 9, and Mike, 8, all watched with wide eyes as the guards dragged Matthew up onto the stool, tied his hands behind his back, and firmly set the looped rope under his chin.

'What's happening?' Matthew whispered, his voice shaking. His friends all looked away, not wanting to see what the guards were about to do.

'We're sorry, kid,' one of the guards said. 'But you were all in the wrong place at the wrong time. This is a secret military base, and if word of it got out, then people's lives could be in danger. So, we have to make sure that doesn't happen.'

Matthew's eyes widened in realization. 'Are you going to kill us?' he asked, his voice trembling.

The guard nodded his head and looked away. 'It's the only way to keep the secret safe.'

Matthew, Mark, Marcus, and Mike all looked at each other in horror. They knew what was coming, and it filled them with a numb terror. They all began to beg for their lives, explaining that they were all innocent and hadn't done anything wrong.

'We're just kids!' Mark shouted. 'We deserve to live our lives like everyone else!'

The guards looked away, their faces tense with guilt. 'We know,' one replied. 'But it has to be done. We're sorry this had to happen to you boys, but it's the only way. We need you to try to be brave, and accept your deaths without making it harder on yourselves.'

The boys, all virgins, pleaded with the guards. But it was no use; they knew it was futile. The guards stripped them of their clothes and made them submit to their deaths. All of their cocks were erect from fear and embarrassment, but they all remained still, knowing that death was inescapable.

One by one, the guards looped the rope around the boys' necks, and slowly pulled them up, their lives slowly draining away with every second. As the last of the boys were being hanged, the guard paused, his face grim.

'Remember,' he said, his voice barely above a whisper. 'You were innocent, but you were in the wrong place at the wrong time. We have to protect the secret of this base, no matter what.'

The boys could only watch with horror, as the guard tightened the rope, and their short lives ended too soon.
