brightrosefoxWeird searches lead to weirder finds.
A link of Facebook leads to a funny article. A link near the funny article leads to another funny article. I found myself reading about all the films in which actor Sean Bean plays a character who dies. Hint: It's a lot.
And so I read one of the synopses, "Far North" - and the way the writer described it made me decide to search for it. It was based on a short story set in an anthology of "Dark Tales" in which the author retells folk tales with grim outlooks. But I wasn't sure what made "Far North" grim other than than Sean Bean's character freezes to death naked in the Arctic.
I read a few spoiler reviews on IMDB that explain that at the end of the film, the jealous older woman kills her adopted daughter, skins her face, and wears the skin during sex with Sean Bean's character, which he doesn't even realize until a few minutes into sex, which is presumably what leads him to be naked in the snow and dead. And then I had to find the short story, because holy shit what.
And then I found the entire story text reposted. Interestingly, the male character finds time to put all his clothes and snow shoes back on before running away.

Also, I... don't think facial skin works that way. Also, I get that the husband was all caught up and lustful and barely looked at her face during the sex, but still. No matter how smooth she made the skin, wouldn't it just not fit properly even with her pinning it? Maybe I'm just missing something about how to skin an animal skillfully.

Also, the fish tank has been relocated upstairs to my work room, and other bits and pieces from the dining room are now upstairs. Before we know it, the room will be empty and ready for carpeting. Neat.
