About 20 years ago, I was renovating an old cottage that had been infested with mice and squirrels. I gutted the entire place down to the studs and rebuilt everything. While I was at it, I removed all the wiring to the build and redid it all too. As I worked around the main electrical panel, the panel was separated in two partitions. The first partition was where all the house wiring went to ... the other side was for servicing by the electrical company to install or reinstall or service the panel ... I never needed to go in there. So I worked on the place for about a month until I had to get behind the panel to remove a few screws. and adjust a few things.

I opened the never opened panel ...... I couldn't see any wires ..... the whole section of that panel was completely blocked by a recently deceased squirrel that was completely spread out, all limbs stretching as far as they could go in four directions and its tail completely ballooned up with fur. I took the out the squirrel as one solid stiff piece. It had entered in through a punch out that shouldn't have been removed and crawled in and touched things it shouldn't have touched.

I just didn't expect to find that when I went to open the metal box panel.

I wish I had taken a picture but it was just before the period when people started to get camera phones to take pictures of everything.

And thus the eldritch horror that is existence pulled yet another drip of unnoticed life into its gravity

At least it was quick.

Reminds me of that picture I saw going around of two snakes and some wires.

The first snake bit a wire and electrocuted itself, and the second snake bit the first snake and electrocuted itself.

And I always thought, that first snake was an idiot and probably thought he was biting another snake, and he paid the price for it. But the second snake had the exact same thought, only he was right. He really was biting another snake, but he still suffered the same fate.

Those bolt heads were probably the perfect size and shape for it's little grabbies, and if it had chosen the pair to the left or right it would have been fine and still oblivious to the danger.

Me choking on a grape and doing random noises I thought they had no meaning:
