The rack, a 100 word story

The steel cuffs at my hands and feet tear my flesh deep. The iron, now as cold as death, is as unforgiving as the reaper's scythe. My limbs, once limber and lithe, are now rent asunder. All for but one minor blunder.

The chains clink, link by link. Another turn, another clank of the steel tooth holding the the tension which you so skillfully and calmly crank. For mercy, I beg, have mercy! Twas only said in jest, those words I did utter., now echos from these cold stone walls, Thou art surely killing me, Smalls!
