June's short story published in Gargoyle: "The Confession"

Is the man sentenced to crucifixion really guilty of killing the sandal maker, or because he is lame, was he simply too slow in leaving the latrine before the soldiers arrived? In fact, now his companion, Baba, claims to be the guilty one. Then why didn’t he come forward sooner with his confession? On the day before the execution, Baba asks for Miriam bat Isaac’s help in stopping the execution. Can she stop it in time?
