In the Oven

Coal scuttles? Yeah we have one of those. The house animals, or otherwise ceramic ovens, need lots of love and attention and feeding. This necessitates frequent trips to the cellar, so you can find me, every so often, black fingered and puffing after hauling a crate of coal up five flights to the apartment. Really, it’s not as difficult as I imagined. At least it’s not the top floor, and at least I’m not a miner (think about how many times you can use that last phrase every day).
The funny thing is, coal isn’t shaped the way I always imagined; in little irregular pebbles. No, this is Modern Coal. It is angular and oblong, looking like compact cars and specially formed to be easily stackable.
