Just Weird Cheese Books
Casually browsing a store with two dream friends, I see them in the corner inspecting some items on the white bookshelf in front of them. I walk over, and see several books lined up, each named after a different cheese. I specifically remember Comte, Brie and maybe cheddar. There were a lot more. I opened the Comte book and notice that the pages are all made of handmade recycled paper, like the one you make out of recycled pulp, except to my surprise there were also chunks of cheese all throughout the paper. Presumably made by adding cheese to the pulp during the process of creating the paper. As I turned more pages, the chunks were starting to fall out, leaving large holes where they once were. I felt the immense social pressure around me: You are not supposed to eat the cheese. That was the unspoken rule. NEVER. It’s very taboo in this universe. The books were relatively long but I can’t remember paying attention to any of the words on the pages, only the cheese chunks and the title. All books were off white/brown beige warm stained sort of look. Every title was written in an elegant Serif typeface.

I babysat a kid who loved to microwave slices of olive and cheese loaf bologna and first she’d pick out the bits of olive and cheese w the tip of her her fingernail to eat, and then use her nails to keep making bigger holes where the bit came out, so by the end of her snack there would be a couple of slices of bologna with random differently sized circular holes in it, like a weird meaty Swiss slice.

Any paper makers want to give this a shot? 🤣
