Original works of fantasy and horror
"...Whatever commandment the condemned man has transgressed is engraved on his body by the harrow ... of course the script can't be too simple: It's not meant to kill on first contact, but only after twelve hours, on average ... It keeps on writing more and more deeply for all twelve hours. For the first six hours the condemned man is alive almost as before, he only suffers pain. But how still the man becomes in the sixth hour! ... You've seen yourself how difficult the writing is to decipher with your eyes, but our man deciphers it with his wounds ... then the harrow pierces him clean through and throws him into the pit.
"...Of course, back then an acid that we're no longer allowed to use dripped from the writing needles."
