Cause of Death
Catastrophic Bookshelf Domino Incident
The Chain
- The candle on the third shelf — never lit, purely "ambiance" — is nudged by an overstacked self-help book.
- The candle rolls into a ceramic cat, which tips into the succulent that has been dead for six weeks.
- The pot slides off, lands on the power strip below, sparking and startling the actual cat, who launches at 47mph.
- The airborne cat collides with the standing fan, which topples into the unanchored bookshelf. The subject is now a permanent bookmark.
