    survived, but you did not.
    The rest of you is missing.
    A 140 degrees hot pool
    didn’t like your toes,
    I suppose,
    and spit them up
    to waiting arms.
    The rest of you was yummy.

    Based on a true story of II Hun Ro, who disappeared in Yellowstone Park in July 2022

    I have read a few different stories of people been dissolved in hot acidic pools of water. Horrific way to go! I wonder why the the foot was left… I was going to suggest removing I suppose but I like how this sounds. The final line is a little light relief. You could have some fun describing the digestion. Maybe this is another poem! Hehe​

    According to the news article, the foot was all that was left of him. No idea why. It will be published in Five Fleas, most likely tomorrow.
