Journey To Golgotha

This is a fictionalized short story about the two men crucified with Jesus at Golgotha. Who were they, how, and why did they end up being executed along with Jesus. This story is about the two men, it isn't about Jesus though he appears in the story. Yirmiyahu and Gedeon, childhood friends and street thieves, both destined for execution on a Roman cross. Two theives who graduated to freedom fighters, and thence to murder.
They committed acts of robbery, rape, and butchery against Romans and Jews alike. But one of them became a bad man with a good heart. Unfortunately, they got involved with a ruthless killer, then ended up being hunted by both Jewish and Roman soldiers. This made their journey to Golgotha a certainty.
