Since you sit there so smugly, denying the crimes for which you have been duly judged guilty, we will do our best to dampen your spirits. We have decided to sentence you to die by means of the bowl. Since you show no understanding, allow us to better educate you. When you have been bound hand and foot to a table, a bowl containing common mice will be placed overturned upon your belly, therefore trapping the rodents inside. A small fire will be lit atop this bowl, slowly heating it. As the metal heats, so will the creatures inside sense this, and in their panic to escape the danger will begin to burrow the only direction they are able... through your skin. They will burrow into your intestines, possibly escaping through your sides, and possibly digging further into your chest cavity. Either way, you will die, and it will not be a pretty death. For it will be by loss of your blood, or the slow devouring of your lugs and heart. So may every bite and scratch serve to remind of the false pretense you put on this day, knowing you should have plead guilty, and then suffered only the quick death of the noose.
