OBSERVATIONS OF PAIN
I. Introduction We have always thought of "pain" as the unpleasant reaction of a being's nervous system to certain environmental stimuli. But through my recent studies, I believe that I have come to understand pain as a state of mind, rather than a simple physical reaction. It is very easy to inflict physical pain on someone. A casual look about my laboratory will prove that. Iron maidens, thumbscrews, and racks are all useful for this purpose, but what should be done for the person who can literally accept and even ignore physical pain? In this case, a test of one's mental faculties shall be necessary. Research thy subject carefully, and discover what tears into his soul. Understand his psyche, and use what thou dost discover to help augment the physical torture.
We will look now at a
few examples. Suppose
thou dost want to cause
a harpsichordist pain.
Thumbscrews are the
obvious choice, but why
not add to his experience
by playing the blissful
tune "Sea Shanty"? This
should produce some very
good results. Similarly, if
the subject is a writer,
strapping him to "the
rack" and reading from
the dismal "Sir Trout's
Plot Guide" will have him
writhing. Throughout these
pages, thou wilt find even
more insidious ways to
produce pain. Read them
well, and thou wilt never
be disappointed with the
results.
