Fridge Horror

• Invoked with its use of How We Got Here. The story starts with a train station guard finding the dead body of a young derelict and going through his meager possessions, which consist solely of a sweets tin containing some solidified grey-white powder that is promptly thrown away. It isn't until you watch the film that you realize what the powder is and why it was in the tin. For those who aren't familiar with the story (which you really should watch or read as long as you aren't scared of drowning in your own tears) -- it's the ashes of the dead boy's younger sister, who he had cremated all by himself a few weeks previously. Worse because the police officer tastes it, probably believing it to be either food or some kind of narcotic.
