Drabble Challenge #72

Prompt: organic

Walking through the farming museum, Joe and the curator come up to a shiny, rivet-studded machine.

“What's this?” Joe asks.

“It’s a fertilizer factory,” replied the curator. “It converts organic matter into high-grade fertilizer. It was invented by a slightly twisted genius in the 1890’s.”

“What do you mean by ‘slightly twisted’?”

“Well, let’s just say his choice of organic matter was somewhat different.”

“In what way?”

Pulling on a large lever the curator said, “Let me show you.”

Two mechanical arms grabbed Joe and pulled him into the machine. A few minutes later a sack of fertilizer appeared.
