Some Like It Hot
Riddle
Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.Riddle
Sometimes skin is scraped off,
Sometimes nails are pulled off.
Sometimes hair is pulled out,
Sometimes hot wax is applied to bare skin.
But always there is an application of withering heat. Sometimes the person is encased in an apparatus to make only a particular body part hot. It varies, it could be feet, hands or head. No one is spared, and sometimes many body parts get the heat treatment. It's a controlled heat, not meant to kill. Yet, women have dyed here.
Those who satisfy the demands for money get to leave, but all show the effects of what they've undergone, and all feel definitely hotter.
