Grinder

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

The company is a paper recycling processor. The paper is brought in 24/7 in 18 wheelers and unloaded onto conveyor belts. The paper goes behind a curtain where it is "cut" into tiny,tiny pieces (smaller than confetti). For some reason, a line worker was pushing the paper through the curtain into the grinder with his hand to 'speed things up'even though the conveyor belts were functioning and designed to work unaided. Unfortunately, the grinder was closer behind the curtain than the man thought. He pushed the stack of paper following it all the way up to his shoulder. The grinder grabbed the man pulling him all the way through and grinding him into tiny,tiny pieces.
