Other People's Crap Smells.


There is a unique scent common to used book stores, used CD stores, and thrift stores. It is not a smell I enjoy, nor do I consider it natural or traditionally pleasant. It's kind of like the smell of feet mixed with the smell of ass, mixed with the smell of musty old paper.

At first, I really thought that old paper was the culprit. But then why the thrift stores? They're the strongest source of this scent, even with no almost books in many of them! So, I thought, did some of these items smell this bad before they showed up here? Is there one thing in the building making this...What is making this smell? I thought and thought, and there is really only one possible explanation.

People take in their dirty old stuff to sell. Then the germs get down and dirty. I mean really NASTY. They get it on with the old germs there, creating newer, weirder-smelling germs that attach themselves to everything in the room. And then new stuff just keeps being brought in all the time, allowing the old germs no time to die. They just keep on growing and changing, mixing and morphing. And at the rate they're going, there can be no doubt that there is an orgy of disease, a really big shit monster just waiting to be spawned at your local thrift store any day now.

It will look something like this.
