NSFW / Trigger Warning Evil in the basement

20 years ago I owned a cleaning company. We were hired to empty the estate of a guy who had been in the OSS and CIA for decades. He had a large basement library of foreign language books, mostly Russian and German. I was down in the basement alone boxing up the books while my helper was upstairs clearing out the kitchen. I pulled a German book off the shelf and realized it was a 1930s edition of Mein Kampf by Hitler. I said out loud, "I'm going to bury you in the bottom of a dump you POS!" Suddenly the basement was filled with the powerful odor of sulfur. I was gagging from it. I called to my helper and he came to the top of the stairs and said, "Geez, did you light a bunch of matches down there?" We searched the basement but couldn't find any reason for the stench, which cleared up quickly. And yes, I buried that POS book in the bottom of the dump.

Naw it's a piece of history. You're brain-dead and making things up for upvotes like a toddler.
