Congratulations Fingerless Frank!



One by one, joints indicated by black magic marker will be taken, the knife slipping into each one, removing the tendon, then, twisting, flesh sloughing off, fibrous and terrible, like a system of fluid filled wires, until bone is separated from bone and your fingers, after seven agonizing hours, are no longer attached to your hand.

We'd like to say that this is a horror or a tragedy or undeserved, but it's none of those things.  You're a mobster named Fingerless Frank, and you're losing your fingers because you wouldn't tell some other mobsters where a bunch of money you stole from a children's charity is stashed.  While what's going to happen to you today is truly terrible, and will haunt you until the end of your life (which, luck you, will be in just a few days, after you break and finally tell those mobsters where that 14 grand that should've gone to little Billy's dialysis got off to) you wholly deserve it.  We'd usually say no one deserves it, but you really, really do.

Shame on you, Fingerless Frank.  Also, it's ironic that you chose that nickname before having your fingers removed one by one.  Just goes to show you that life has a way of making fools of us all.  Also, the actual story behind that nickname is somehow even worse than what's being done to you, so we really don't feel bad for you.

Congratulations Fingerless Frank!
