He waved to the other to men to take Klaus.

"Klaus, there is another meaning for millstone? Do you know it? No? For shame, it is such a useful word. It means a burden, a heavy burden. Klaus, you have become a millstone to me – a burden heavier than I am willing to bear."

With another wave, the two men dragged Klaus to one of the cars parked outside the cabin. Arturo drove off and the other two men drove Klaus to a remote marina. A boat was waiting, engines warm, ready to cast off. Throwing him onto the boat they jumped in after him and cast off the lines. The captain took the fast boat about ten miles offshore and slowed the engine to idle.

The larger of the two stepped in front of Klaus. "Hey buddy, I guess it don't pay to piss off Arturo, huh? He told me to ask you something. Did you ever see that great Kevin Spacey movie, "Swimming with Sharks?" With that he started laughing manically as Klaus felt the warm urine flow down his leg.

The two thugs of Arturo's had been busy. They had chains attached to two large chunks of the broken millstone from the mill. Each chunk weighed about one hundred pounds. They fastened another chain around Klaus' neck and wired the chains together. They lifted the heavy stones to the platform with Klaus having to follow. Pushing the stones off the boat into the sea, they caused him in a manner of speaking, to " ... be thrown into the sea with a great millstone around his neck."

Standing on the boat waiting for the end, watching several dark fins wandering through the heavy sea in meandering circles, a terrorized Klaus could only think of a randomly remembered quote from Robert Browning, a line from his "On a Toccata of Galuppi's":

" ... what was left of soul, I wonder, when the kissing had to stop."

Seriously….11 out of 10?

Math much?

Interesting story...

This is an interesting story. It's interesting that you mention Kevin Spacey (or, more specifically, one of his movies, Swimming With Sharks) given what's been revealed about his predatory behavior...

IMO, Klaus had probably gone behind Arturo's back one too many times and had gotten on Arturo's bad side--hence, his fate at the end; it does not pay at all to piss off a crime boss...

Seriously!

Maybe you should have talked to actual rape survive or read something about them, 11 out of 10 survivors who get pregnant either abort or give up the baby for adoption. The trauma of the event simply cuts off their emotional attachment with the fetus.

I didn't care for it much

In fact I didn't like the first half of the story at all. Way too disjointed, and quotes from

Shakespeare, or Browning, or Spock just don't make it any better. It could have been a good story, told just straightforward. But that didn't happen, and in my opinion the author sabotaged his own story by trying to "Trick it Up".
