The stool that’s so wobbly he could feel it shaking beneath his feet. He could hear the ticking off the clock in the room, going “tick tock tick tock”. Then as he felt the man behind him tighten the rope on his neck he saw his life flash before his eyes. Hideki Tojo was his name; he grew up following the footstep of the man he idolized the most his father. Thus a War Lord is born.…
