Mnemonic


[sh-] Shrek is [2] inside the living room of the [-_] house sitting on the couch, watching TV. He reaches for some onion 食 food that is on the coffee table only to discover it has been 蝕 corroded because it is full of swamp gas and 虫 insects that have eaten holes in it, causing it to disintegrate. The next second he discovers that the couch itself has been 蝕 corroded too, because it collapses upon itself, sending him to the floor. And the TV turns off at that same minute, because it's internal parts are 蝕 corroding.
