skull_bearerI don't mean something bad, but something that is so unbearable, so horrific, so unspeakable that it takes you quite some time to be able to coherently articulate the sheer WRONG of it. The thing in question took me a year, and 'coherent' would not be the word I'd use.
Now firstly, you have to know that I hate the very concept of talking food. Anything that personifies food to the point where you can identify with it is sheer unbearable horror to me. I literally cannot stand it, so please don't send me any links. At all. Or get friendsbanned. Seriously, I cannot stand this. I don't know why, but it made me cry as a kid, and makes me crawl against Paramour when I see it now.
The worst thing I ever saw was the murals in the camp kitchens of Sachenhausen concentration camp, which were pretty much exactly that. Verious kinds of personified foods all looking very happy about being eaten, like, carrots smiling while they were being grated, that sort of thing.
Now, beside the fact that this was the very fucking last thing I was expecting to see, and I had slept very badly the night before, this was a concentration camp kitchen and probably had been painted by people starving to death, which added so many now layers of just plain wrong that I all but ran screaming from the room. I've been to about ten concentration camps, but that one? My own personal nightmare moment.
So, what about you friendlist? Any personal nightmare moments you want to share?
