Pain Causer!

I found this in the cream cake section of the supermarket.

Existential Pain Relievers

My mom found this sign on the ground. It was a two-sided sign. Who knows what it says in Swedish, but the message in English is very clear.

I’m Gone Make Him Cry

Mackenzie found this on the Metro train after a Cardinals game. The front looks like innocent schoolwork; the back belies the glorification of violence in our youth.

Pain

I was walking to the el in Rogers Park and saw this bubbly-lettered, girl-handwriting note just sitting on the sidewalk.

Things Could Be Worse

I found this while digging through my purse during class one day. I figure someone slipped it in there during school. It was really small, and said “Just a small reminder” on the front.

Lots of Possibilities

I found this piece of torn cardboard just up the street from my house in Cole Valley. I picture a teenager writing it, maybe experimenting with a god complex, or maybe just making a list of morbid verbs. Apparently, “confuse” didn’t make the cut.
