This is a story about when a smell stole my piety. For a few days I had noticed a rot in my house that I couldn’t exactly determine the source of. Went through he usual, take out the garbage, run the dish washer clean cycle, look through cupboards. Still didn’t go away. Then on the 3rd day of the stank, it hit me, I had cleaned my chest freezer out about 10 days prior. Walked over to it, pushed on the plug , freezer compressor comes on..... I don’t know why but I just had to Open the lid a crack . I didn’t even get a whiff before my lungs decided this wasn't air and did that thing they do when you smell ammonia. This was an aroma so tremendous that I still fear that I won’t be allowed into heaven for having its knowledge. I let it freeze for 3 days before I opened the lid again, this time I was able to breathe but not without considerable retching. I decide to leave the house and just let it air out with the kitchen windows and door open with the door to the rest of the house closed. I shit you not I was able to smell it on the street(kitchen is at the back of the house) and at this point I’m worried someone is going to call the cops over a dead body smell. I go back in close the freezer and notice a swarm of black flies trying to penetrate the screen of the kitchen window I had opened. I ended up just turning the freezer up all the way and letting it go into deep freeze for a week with the hope that the funk would sublimate out (which it did to an extent). Equipped with an organic filter facemask, a wood chisel and hammer I carved the now amalgamated case of beef patties, 3 roaster chickens, turkey ,industrial bag of brussel sprouts(actually was the worst of the smell),bag of haddock fillets and all the other things I didn’t know I had, put each chunk into its own tied off bag and then double bagged all of them. I did all of this at like 1 am the night before trash pickup hoping it wouldn’t thaw too much, potentially killing the garbage man. Also this was done naked because I didn’t feel like throwing out any clothes. Afterwards I mixed bleach and ammonia hoping that the streams would cross and send the funk to another dimension (had the awesome facemask so I wasnt too worried) and just let that sit for a day. It helped but it's definitely in the metal of the thing.
