The Reason I Chose Torture for My Blog

A lot of people probably wonder why, of all things, would I choose to blog about torture. Well torture devices and methods have always been a great fascination to me. It all started back when I was about 14. I was watching the History Channel with a few friends when a segment on old torture methods was announced as the next show. Everyone in the room groaned and tried to change the channel, but my desire had already set in and since it was my house, my rules. We grabbed some sandwiches and chips then sat down to watch. At the end of the program it seemed like everyone was about to vomit up their food, then there was me sitting in my chair laughing to myself about how fun some of these methods sounded. The looks I received were priceless and I realized wait, this makes a lot of people uncomfortable...perfect. Since then I've done a lot of fictional writing with use of very descriptive gore and I have done a lot more research on torture. When I read about a form of torture I hadn't known about previously, my tummy is filled with butterflies and I feel my face crack and force into a smile. If you come up to me and strike up a conversation about torture I get all flustered and its hard to speak at first, but I become very eager to share my knowledge. The more I think about it, I have a crush on torture. The method that REALLY got me into torture was death by sawing. There are a few different ways to execute this method, but my favorite one (the version I saw on the show I was watching) was to saw a person in half, vertically. The person would be hung upside down to allow the blood to drain to their head, and they'd be cut from bottom up to keep them alive as long as possible. This is just a short example of what my blog is going to about, I will be going into detail about these torture methods, include a few every week and rate it on how awesome the method is.
