Someone call Neil Gaiman

I've discovered a new fairy-tale punishment task: Picking up miniscule shards of broken glass out of carpet. Just lock someone up in an apartment with beige shag, smash a couple jars, and every once in a while, send a rat out to dump over the pieces your victim has already collected. Presto! Sorry, princesses, I only do it for my art.

Anyway, sure sucks having to wear sandals in my apartment now!

Ah suck. Incidents like this are why I've decided I hate carpeted floors.

May I suggest packing tape? It might help in getting those wee bitty pieces you don't see 'till they're in you.

Ooh, clever. Will try.

I think I got most of it, but you know what they say about "most."

Here's to hoping it was a thicker glass that doesn't dissolve into killer fairy dust when broken.

Wow, glasses that dissolve into (literal) fairy dust when shattered would be a fantastic plot device for a gonzo urban fantasy. (You know, like those drug smugglers who fabricate inconspicuous objects out of compacted cocaine?) Great way to sneak some glamour past airport security.
