The event:

Recently, against my advice, a friend of mine tried to microwave a live lobster. Unfortunately, it exploded in the microwave, and it got all over the walls, and was inedible. His girlfriend is now inconsolable because she says she could hear the lobster banging on the microwave door trying to escape.

My friend claims he thought this would have been quicker, and how could he have known this was going to happen.

Neither of them are in any shape to talk about it, but it’s actually given me some very interesting story ideas. Should I just go ahead and do it without asking for permission from those who were present and responsible? Is it just too horrible to take inspiration from?
