When I was younger I was offered a gig to help disassemble an abandoned cottage by hand. Turns out it had burned from the inside when a fire had spread from the fireplace - somebody had went inside to try and keep warm in the winter and ended up burning themselves and the cottage. What adds some spice to the story is the fact that in the past the cottage was a “troll’s hut” funfair kinda thing where kids, myself included, went to meet the “forest troll” and do some drawing etc.

Had nightmares about it for quite a while.

Not a short story but I recall we read Call of the Wild in school. Some nice animal cruelty for kids to think about.

From looms to wrooms, why not!

Could be basically any japanese company 😅

I once found a fake Harry Potter book named Harry Potter and Deatbly Hallows, probably just a pirated version of the actual book, never read it, but funny to not spell-check the name.

My mom and her husband were checking out a flat and the real estate agent had their fly open. After that they’d refer to her as “the fly-open” and remind each other of that person every now and then. I wasn’t there yet I remember the case. So I give you second generation memory of an awkward person!

That object, my friend, is me.

I suppose with this logic cheap sausage is also plant-based

Although there are beers with lactose added (eg milkshake ipas have it for texture and taste), but those are an exception of course.
