Thread

Plastic buttons melt from the heat of the dryer and catch fire which burns through the circular glass window. In the confusion surrounding it fleeing customers knock over a mop bucket, flooding the tile floor with water that was dragged through the dirt. Two scavengers pass a cigarette back and forth on the train tracks, […]

They’ll be able to buy science kits at the store for their kids, and they’ll come with cheap microscopes that break the second time they use them. The experiment in the kit will be to grow their […]
