Mnemonic


[shu-] Sherlock is in the [3] basement of the [-ai] high school on an investigation. However one of the storage 用 racks has attached to him via an exposed 乚 hook that worked its way into his peacoat. He has no choice but to 甩 fling off his coat to free himself. He 甩 flings it off with such force that the reverse in tension causes the 用 rack to 甩 fling halfway across the basement before toppling over in front of a teacher who is wondering why Sherlock is down in the basement.
