Inquisition   Writings   Forums

You are a criminal, and will tell us what we wish to know. Although reluctant to do so now, you will not be after feeling the stones. We will force you to your knees upon these sharpened flints, and while the weight of your own body will cause some discomfort, it is nothing to what will come. One by one we will place heavy stones upon your thighs. As the weight grows, the flints will gouge deeper into your shins, cutting to the bone. Eventually your bones will begin to splinter, and you will know much grief. The muscles in your legs will be pressed unnaturally causing them to cramp in a most painful way. As even more stones are added your joints will bend further then they are meant. When this happens your knees may give out, the tendons popping under pressure, your ankles may break, and it is conceivable that even your thigh bones will fracture. One thing is certain. You will not be able to walk to your execution, so we will drag you.
