Exactly what in the WORLD made you decide to stop by HERE!?! Aren't you just the morbid little siteseer...

...Well, since you decided to drop by, let me make this worth your while and tell you a little tale.

I was at work, and a customer stopped in with a color-copying job. They had photographs that needed copied for a court case, and it was of "sensitive materials". At some point I began work on this order, not thinking too much about it; you've worked on one attorney's stuff you've worked on it all, right?

So I'm having at this job, knocking out laser copies left and right. From what I could tell the setting was a factory of some sort, possibly a steel mill. Lots of big heavy machinery, forklifts, presses, that kind of thing. And as I progressed with this job, I noticed there was some...stuff in a lot of the photos. Hard to explain, but it looked messy. The entire setting was messy, but this stuff looked like broken, dirty candle wax. A whole lot of it.

And I wasn't paying it all that much attention at first; it was just another order to be completed. But then I got close to the end of the job, and I still couldn't figure out what that STUFF was, so I stared at the pictures, turning them every which-a-way...until it finally dawned on me what I had been copying.

That wasn't a broken candle -- that was a broken PERSON. At least, whatever was left of them.

Apparently they'd gotten caught in some kind of hydraulic heat press and...well, obviously, the rest wasn't pretty. Even after I'd deduced what it was I was looking at, that STILL didn't make it any easier to comprehend. Yeah, gross. So keep THAT in mind the next time you have a nice quiet candlelit dinner.

(Serves you right for visiting the morgue...!)
