“My new jacket!” Gwen wailed as the sleeve stared to smoke, acidic secretions burning through the leather.


“You see?” Jack said. “That perfectly illustrates what I’ve been telling you all along. Just because something appears harmless, that doesn’t mean it is.

“And the moral of this tale is, don’t wear new clothes to work and expect them not to get ruined.”
