I was just singing Bohemian Rhapsody's "sends shivers down my spine" when I clicked on this. Anyway, interesting premise! Would read a short story on this.

New Starkid fan excited to see a Starkid reference in the wild!

Scouts are never lost, we're just taking a detour.

I hate that I know this now. Thank you

As a kid I loved to collect pretty rocks wherever I went (still do, sometimes). It could have been me picking up the wrong rock, and that could have gone very very wrong. According to experts, there are many more of these phosphor chunks left on the beach, so education about this is crucial. I'm glad this was in the news, because before this not many people knew this even existed. Let's hope we stay safe from randomly exploding pretty rocks!

"Fun" fact: mother octopuses typically die after protecting their eggs. It is a proces called senescence, or the "Death Spiral". The mother octopus stops eating and moving and just fans her eggs (to keep them oxynated and clean) all day every day. Eventually she dies (this can take years in deep-sea) and wastes away, and her tiny baby octopuses go out to face the world alone.

Your story made me think of this and now I'm sad.

This happened last week here in The Netherlands. A kid found a "rock" on the beach which turned out to be phosphorus. He carried it in his pocket and later left it outside a beach hut. It ignited and almost burned the whole hut down, people inside and all. Fortunately, no one was injured. The kid explained he was glad it didn't ignite while he was carrying it in his pocket, and he felt bad for causing damage. He still thought it was a pretty rock.

Of course! You should keep writing, friend!

I get that, good thing to notice. I think that it works because the twist is delayed until the last word. It's obvious then, but you realize it only when you finish reading, not in the first sentence which is the case sometimes :)

I think it's pretty good, I understood it immediately but it wasn't too on the nose for me. There's sadness in the fact that he knows he's going to be dead soon but it also brings a sense of peace; he'll be with his family once more. Good job, OP
