Do you see it? As if being nailed to a cross isn't agonising enough, if the victim, to slightly ease the excruciating torture, decides to rest back a little into something like a sitting-down posture he'll get a metal spike up him - and a spike with a spearhead so that once it enters his hole he'll be unable to dislodge himself from it, self-impaled via his own bum for the remaining shattering painful hours of his life, perhaps a day or even longer. I wonder if he's even aware that it's there, though I dare say that its presence behind him as a threat is the last thing on his mind right now. Maybe with only able to move his head and middle part of his body, as he writhed and wriggled in his agony he felt something digging into his backside and thought it might be a little shelf he could sit on to ease the horrific pressure on his arms. He heaved himself up, then lowered his bum - at first with a feeling of welcome relief, but then as the arrowhead entered him he thought, "Oh shit, NOOOOOOO!" Too late. It's got him and he's stuck now, unable to move at all for as many breaths as he has left in his torn body. 😰
Was there one of these spikes on Jesus' cross, I wonder? I don't think he'd have wanted to suffer less than anyone else. Or was it a cross specifically made for those men accused of Sodomy, perhaps? Whatever, it sure makes my eyes water like fuckin' Niagara!
