There are many misconceptions about the methods that this entails. You however, will be enlightened as to the truth of it. We will bind you, with your legs angled toward the floor. Once you are in this vulnerable state, a large quantity of water will be forced upon you. If you do not wish to drink then begin your despair now, for you will do so. A funnel will be placed into your mouth, and your nose covered, so you have no choice but to drink all of the liquid before you are able to breathe again. After this is repeated enough times to fill your stomach to a state of maximum distension, the angle at which you are held will be changed. As your body is tilted, and your head points toward the floor, the full weight of your stomach and its contents will begin to press on your lungs and heart. Not only the incredible pain of this, but the feeling of suffocation that accompanies it will surely make you confess. Though if you cannot be swayed so easily, We will then beat upon your bloated stomach with a mallet almost to the point of rupture. This way, no permanent marks will ever show, and your body will be in good condition when we execute you.
