Mnemonic


[sh-] Shrek is in [1] front of the [-an] pawn shop where he has a stack of second-hand 冊 booklets he is in charge of 刪 deleting. He does this by putting them on the sidewalk then cutting each one in half with a 刂 saber, effectively 刪 deleting it from the world. Once it is 刪 deleted it slowly fades into nothing.
