Simple Tips to Help In Green Waste Removal

Garbage generation and waste collection, waste management, etc., are everyday activities that we all have a little bit of idea of. However, we often miss the fact that rubbish removal companies categorise the waste into different parts, and one of the most talked about categories is green waste. People have significantly less idea of what this green waste is, and hence, we have come up with this post discussing this relatively new category and what is done as a part of green waste management.

What Defines Green Waste?

The name signifies that green waste is mainly a combination of plants, trees and other flora. But this is not the end of the definition, as several things are added to this category by companies offering rubbish removal services and waste removal services in Adelaide. Green waste can include everything biodegradable, like tree branches, grass padding, flowers, weeds, etc. Apart from this, food scraps and fruits falling in the category of composting waste are also included in this category by rubbish removal companies.

This garbage is dumped in the green bin, and if you see this bin, it means that it has all the green waste dumped.

How To Dispose Green Waste Safely?

Experts from waste removal Adelaide companies recommend five different methods for safe rubbish removal and disposal of green waste.

Green Waste Bin

This is a classic option available for green rubbish removal, and it can store the green waste and be emptied when full. According to waste management companies, this is the most consistent form of green waste removal, but it also has some downsides. This size limit is the first limitation, followed by the fact that they are completely ineffective in bigger projects.

Verge Waste Collection

Some city councils and local authorities run this waste collection campaign annually. It is an excellent opportunity to dispose of green waste successfully. You can use it as a reliable and consistent option for rubbish removal services and waste removal in Adelaide.

Shredding Up the Green Waste

Another awe-inspiring idea is shedding the green waste to make space between branches, leaves, etc. However, this method is used with green bins, as they are very reliable for waste clearing and collection.

Incineration

Another advantageous but not-so-recommended method is burning green waste or green waste incineration. It is recommended to check with the local authorities before using this method. For those who prefer a clear conscience, the best idea is to continue shredding green waste and using green bins for waste collection.

Lastly, skip bins are always available for waste removal and green waste collection in Adelaide. Several companies offer economical skip bins of different sizes, and you can rent them as an ideal waste disposal method.

CH 13- Goddamn Henry Wu

Prev ● Masterpost

Why? How? Goddamn Henry Wu?

Adelaide clenched her jaw but refused to do anything else. Anything she said, anything she did would be data for him, and she wouldn’t let him have it.

It had been almost five years since they’d seen each other last, and though it was brief, Adelaide could tell he’d aged in that time. His hair was lighter, his face more defined. She didn’t want to know what happened to make it that way.

“How are you feeling?” he asked.

Adelaide stared at him. He knew how she felt. Cold. Scared. Alone. Thoroughly pissed off.

“Glad to see you survived the Sorna incident…and the San Diego incident.”

Adelaide scoffed. Of course he was glad. She would hate for such an interesting specimen such as herself to go to waste.

“Is something funny?” he asked. When she didn’t respond, he pulled up a stool and continued. “We don’t have to be enemies, Adelaide. You could be at the forefront of some very important discoveries. If we work together, we could achieve some major breakthroughs in genetics. You could be helping a lot of people.”

“Let me go.”

“I’m afraid I can’t do that.”

“If you want to work with me, let me go.”

Wu held up a clipboard, which made Adelaide flinch. He read off of it. “Dr. Marshall describes the specimen as uncooperative, flighty, and antagonistic.” He set the clipboard back down and looked her in the eye. Or at least, he tried to. Her eyes anxiously flicked away every few seconds. “So, no. I can’t let you go.”

Adelaide felt cornered. There was no way out of the box but up, and it was a long way up. Close to impossible without her hook, and definitely impossible with a giant watching. With nowhere to go, his oppressive gaze pierced through her. “You have no right to keep me here,” she said calmly. Any explosion of hers would be a win on his part. A sign of weakness.

“Oh, but I do,” he said.

Adelaide knew he wanted her to ask why, so she didn’t. He elaborated anyway.

“You belong to InGen, Adelaide.”

“I don’t belong to anyone.”

Wu rifled through the papers on his clipboard again. He detached one from the pile and set it in her enclosure as he spoke. “Recognize those faces?”

The paper was so big that it had to sit curved against the wall, but Adelaide could see it just fine. And she did recognize those faces.

“Don’t,” she said quietly. Tears pricked her eyes.

“Mae and Arlo. A miraculous result of certain…experiments done back before InGen was InGen. I don’t even think John Hammond was aware of them. See, you got me digging, Adelaide. You physically should not be able to exist. I assumed there had to be more of your species, and somebody had to have documented you at some point. You can imagine my surprise when I found out the very company I worked for was creating you! Even if it was by accident.”

“Stop it.” Unable to press herself into the corner any further, Adelaide started shaking. He was lying. He had to be.

“I won’t bore you with the logistics, but Lockwood’s endeavors into human cloning resulted in Mae and Arlo, and a few others, at first. From what I can tell, research halted when Hammond condemned Lockwood for his…‘unethical’ actions.”

“Leave. Me. Alone.” Hot tears leaked uncontrollably down Adelaide’s face.

“Your blood sample provided some intriguing results. I don’t know if they escaped or if they were let go, but they left, and they had a child. And that child is you. They were property of InGen. You are property of InGen.”

Wu reached in to remove the paper, and Adelaide lunged at his hand. She bit down into the soft skin, refusing to let go.

Wu winced and instinctively flicked his hand to get her off. Adelaide went flying and her body smacked into the back wall of her enclosure with a thump. She fell into a heap, but before she could register the pain, she lunged again.

Wu was quick enough to remove his hand with plenty of time to spare. Adelaide’s momentum caused her to fall forward onto her face, and she laid there, a broken mess. Her face was soaked with tears and Wu’s blood, and each of her bones felt like they snapped in half. Her head spun even worse to the point where she was seeing triple.

“Hammond was a good man,” Wu continued as if nothing happened. He wrapped a bandage over his hand as he spoke. “but he was a coward. He didn’t bother to consider the wider applications of Lockwood's research.”

Was a good man? In her dazed state, Adelaide blurted, “Hammond’s dead?”

“Yes.”

For the longest time, Adelaide had mixed feelings on John Hammond. He really did seem like a jolly old man with the best intentions, a curious man who loved dinosaurs and magic and wonder, but underneath it all was a greedy child. One who liked to play with fire and didn’t care what he burned down. And in that moment, all of Adelaide’s thoughts on the man became clear. She hated him. She hated him to his very core. “Good,” she said.

Wu found her response a bit amusing in a detached sense, but the part of him that still clung to Hammond’s memory, to his support and care, made his face tense up.  Ignoring his personal feelings on the matter, he put on gloves, reached in, and grabbed the back of Adelaide’s gown, hoisting her into the air. It wasn’t hard, given her prone position on the ground.

Adelaide’s head screamed at her and her vision started to go in and out. She tried to focus on the giant, pale circle in front of her, on her surroundings, on his voice, on anything, but it was getting increasingly difficult.

“You’re going to do what I ask, or we will make you do what I ask, and I really don’t want to do that. You’re going to let Dr. Marshall give you a check-up, understood?”

“Nope,” she said, and she spit Wu’s blood back in his face. He flinched, and Adelaide felt her body sway lazily in the open air when he did so.

Wu clenched his jaw and abruptly set her back down in her enclosure. He really was disappointed. “We’ve given you so many opportunities to cooperate, Adelaide. I’m sorry I have to do this.”

A clear lid was placed over her cage, and Adelaide shot to her feet, but her back and legs gave way. What was he doing? Why did this box have a lid? She looked up, and she could just barely register a big hole in the ceiling. That was something she could work with. It was probably there so that she could breathe, but it was definitely big enough for her body to fit through.

Then the hole was covered by another contraption, ruining any escape attempt. Adelaide barely had time to wonder what the contraption was before it started emitting gas.

Gas ? The only gas she knew of was poison intended for rodents and bugs. That gas was bad news. Was that really how Wu was going to kill her? She couldn’t imagine why he would want to kill her, even if she was ‘uncooperative, flighty, and antagonistic’. He wanted to study her so bad. He wanted to know everything about her. And he could only gather so much from a corpse.

Regardless, Adelaide needed to get away from that gas. She ran as fast as she could to the farthest corner, limping and stumbling over herself the whole way. She pulled a piece of fabric from the nest and used it to cover her mouth as the gas creeped closer and closer.

Even through the fabric, Adelaide felt when it entered her lungs. She coughed and gasped, trying to rid her body of the poison, but it was no use. Her head bobbed with sudden drowsiness, and she used every remaining ounce of spite in her body to keep herself awake. Wu’s blurry, distorted form hovered over the cage, probably taking note of how she reacted. She couldn’t fall asleep around him. Not here. Not now. Not ever.

But the gas kept coming, and with it came stronger bouts of drowsiness. Adelaide gave it everything she had, but her body simply did not have the same determined strength as her mind. It gave in, and she blacked out.

***

Adelaide woke up with the worst pain in her neck. It felt like somebody had cut it open, repeatedly punched it, and then sewed it shut again. The pain shot down her back and up into her head so that she could hardly move.

She reached up to feel around, and a hard lump underneath her skin made her freeze. Pressing on it made the pain worse. There were also raised lines in the skin, and when she pulled her hand away, crusted blood came with it.

Borrowers didn’t need mirrors. There was no point in looking presentable when they’d just end up with knotted hair and bug guts all over their clothes later on. Adelaide didn’t need to know what she looked like. Why would she?

But then there were the seldom occasions where mirrors would be incredibly helpful. Like right now. To be able to see injuries in places that normally couldn’t be seen because a body just wasn’t meant to bend that way. 

Adelaide laid in the fabric scrap pile in the corner of her cage, which meant somebody moved her unconscious body. She was pissed off alright, but probably not as much as she should have been. Whatever that gas was meant to do, she wasn’t sure, but it made her groggy and it slowed her thought process tenfold.

It was time to get up. She had to find out what was in her neck.

A giant pillar fell from the sky and interrupted this process by pinning her chest back down. If she had been on solid ground, it would have crushed her windpipe, but she just sunk deeper into the fabric.

Still, it hurt. Adelaide shoved at what she now recognized as a giant finger, but it didn’t budge. She shoved and shoved and shoved and used all her strength and she couldn’t move a stupid finger. What did it want?!

“Take it easy,” Wu said. “You’re going to need your strength.”

“What…what did you do to me?” Adelaide slurred. She felt his finger unintentionally push infinitesimally deeper into her chest as she talked, filling the space left behind by the air she expelled. Her struggles grew weaker by the second.

Wu explained in great detail what they did. Adelaide understood almost none of it, and she had a feeling he used big, scientific words on purpose. But she got the gist. They implanted something in her neck that was supposed to take all the measurements she wouldn’t let them take.

“Dr. Marshall suggested it would be less invasive to do so, so that we wouldn’t have to touch you as much.” Wu’s tone indicated that he thought this was ridiculous, perhaps even a waste of time. “I believe this method is much more invasive, but what do I know? I will admit it saves us time, though.” He paused. He could feel her chest rising and falling rapidly underneath his gloved finger, and if he could feel it, then it must have been intense. “Your breathing’s become erratic. Why?” 

Adelaide gasped. Giants. Giants had taken a scalpel to her neck. Giants had moved her frail body, taken a scalpel to her comparatively stick-thin neck, placed some sort of metal recorder-thing inside of it, and closed it off with a needle.That was what the gas was for. To put her to sleep so that they could do that without her consent. Adelaide was no more than a lab rat.

Wu removed his finger. “Don’t sit up. Describe to me how you’re feeling.”

As Adelaide’s vision cleared, she was suddenly aware of two more presences in the room. She could only guess who they were. The woman, Clara, or Dr. Marshall, or whatever, and the red-headed man, Luke. Now she had an audience. She wondered if it was any of them in this room that did the surgery.

Clara read off some numbers to Wu, who hummed in response. “Tomorrow morning we’ll begin the tests, so rest up,” he decided. The three humans were gone in an instant, and the overhead lights in the room flicked off. Some safety lights were left on somewhere, though, since Adelaide’s eyes didn’t adjust to darkness the same way they usually did.

How long did she sleep? It was hard to tell what time it was, or even what day it was in a windowless room. It was hard to tell what time or day it was with how often she was unconscious.

The only movement in the small box were warm tears that trickled down Adelaide’s cheeks. This was what her life had become. Experiments and tests and a complete disregard for her personhood.

She slowly glanced up at the blinking red light in the corner, watching her every move, then let her head fall back into the soft fabric.

It only felt like a couple moments before the buzzing lights turned back on and her body was dragged into consciousness. It was still sore all over, but she could at least move her limbs and think coherent thoughts now.

The face that stared down at her this time was Dr. Marshall. “Good morning, Adelaide.”

Adelaide wiped the drool from her face and stared up at the woman with nothing but pure hatred in her eyes.

“Your vitals are looking fine. You should be happy to know we no longer have to touch you to get readings.”

Right. The implant.

“Though, I am afraid we need to get you from point A to point B. Are you ready?”

Ready for what? Honestly, it didn’t matter, because the answer was always and forever going to be ‘no’.

Despite the brief warning, Adelaide didn’t push herself away in time. Clara’s giant hand scooped her up, held tight, then placed her in another box.

Adelaide wondered how hard she actually fought. She told herself that she was giving it her all, but with each time the humans handled her, her resolve slipped. Obviously, it was just to prove a point. She knew that no matter how much she struggled, the humans would win every time. She would continue to tell them ‘no’ in the only way she knew how, but she would only be able to keep it up for so long. Adelaide thought herself to be an exception. Everyone had a breaking point except her. She could fight forever. But now forever felt like a very long time.

Her new enclosure was a small hallway that veered off to the left and right. The doctors probably wanted her to explore, so she sat down firmly. She watched Clara place a small item somewhere out of sight.

“This bag is full of food. I’ve placed it at the end of the maze. Find your way to it, and you get dinner tonight.”

Adelaide didn’t let the threat affect her in the way they would have liked. She’d been without food for long periods of time before. She wasn’t going to navigate their maze, even if that meant starvation. And so, she sat. For hours. Occasionally, she’d get up to pace around and shake out her limbs, but overall, she stayed put.

The scientists routinely traded shifts, and Adelaide saw some faces she’d never seen before. At first, it had her nervous, but nobody ever interfered. They all just watched.

Finally, a moment came where Adelaide was completely alone. Or, so she thought. Then she heard voices that she probably wasn’t supposed to hear, if the harsh whispers were any indication.

“She’s clearly capable of advanced thought and reasoning skills. She’s emotionally intelligent. Puzzles like these are a waste of time.” That one was Wu.

“I’m standing by it. We just need to give it time.”

A sigh from Wu. “You have the rest of the day, and then I’m calling it.”

A few moments later, Luke and Clara emerged in Adelaide’s field of view.

“Aren’t you hungry?” Clara asked. There was a sense of urgency, maybe even anxiety, to her voice. Adelaide internally congratulated herself. Let them scramble .

Then, the weirdest, most painful sensation overtook her whole body. A million tiny, hot needles repeatedly poked into every square inch of her skin, and it was especially concentrated in her feet. Her muscles contracted so tight she thought they would snap. Her bones vibrated. And she couldn’t move.

As quickly as the pain appeared, it evaporated, and Adelaide collapsed to the ground. Her head and chest burned and her body went numb. They shocked her. The floor electrocuted her.

Adelaide stared incredulously up at the humans. Clara grimaced as if she felt bad. Luke had an evil look in his eye. She could guess which one of them did this.

For the first time since she got here, the man spoke to her. “I would suggest you get going.” His voice matched the one that argued with Wu moments ago.

When she didn’t immediately respond, another shock traveled up her body. She screamed. Every single one of her nerves felt singed.

Adelaide didn’t think her body could handle one more, and the man didn’t look like he was going to back down. It looked like he enjoyed this.

Slowly, Adelaide pushed herself to her feet. She eyed the two Beans cautiously and began her journey into the maze, keeping one hand on the left wall at all times. It was how she liked to map new environments in the walls back home. If she ever got lost, she could turn around and find her way back. It was incredibly inefficient, but it wasn’t like she was going for efficiency here. She didn’t even want their stupid food.

Adelaide could feel their eyes on her at all times, but she refused to look up at them. The monotonous gray walls did little to ease her queasy stomach, and she had to stop a few times to regroup, or else she might fall over. And if she fell over, she was scared Luke would shock her again. This was what her life had become.

The end of the maze was just as underwhelming as the rest of it. An open, gray box with a bag at the center. Adelaide opened it and saw that it contained a bit of cracker, cheese, and meat, but no matter how hard her stomach growled, she couldn’t eat it. She couldn’t take anything from them.

She looked up at the Beans. “What now?”

“Now you can eat,” Clara suggested, as if confused by the way Adelaide didn’t immediately dig in.

“No.”

“No?!”

A miniscule vibration was the only warning Adelaide got before the electricity invaded her body again. Her limbs convulsed and she fell to the floor, twitching in agony.

“You’ll eat when we tell you to eat!” Luke said.

“Luke!” Clara yelled, and the two massive presences disappeared. A few hot, pained tears squeezed out of her eyes as she rolled around, trying to rid herself of the buzz in her bones.

A few moments later, Clara returned alone. “Come here,” she said, gathering up Adelaide’s limp body in her gloved hand and returning her to the fabric pile in her enclosure. Adelaide couldn’t fight it if she wanted to. “I’m sorry about him. Luke’s a bit…impatient. He won’t be joining us any more.”

Adelaide figured she should feel relieved, and she supposed she did. But Luke was the worst of two evils. That didn’t mean the other evil wasn’t still in the room.

���We’ll try again tomorrow,” Clara finished. She placed a new, clean gown in the cage along with some fresh water and the untouched food, then left. The lights switched off.

Adelaide stared at the blinking camera light, trying to focus on an area of her body that didn’t ache. God, that blinking light. It was going to drive her insane. She could look away, she could close her eyes, but she knew it was there, always on, always watching.

Thoroughly fed up, Adelaide dragged herself to her feet and slowly but surely marched over to her yellow food dish, now full of crackers, cheese, and meat. She squatted down and wedged her fingers underneath it, upending it and spilling the food everywhere. It was surprisingly lightweight. Excellent.

Adelaide used all the remaining strength in her body to hoist the dish into her arms and over her head. The weight nearly knocked her off balance, but she willed herself to stay upright. She took a few deep breaths and set her sights on the camera. She could do this.

With one big exhale, she threw the dish as hard as she could. It soared through the air and smashed against the wall with a loud crack. And right on target, too. Adelaide saw that the dish hit the camera perfectly in the center, cracking the lens and shutting it down. The light no longer blinked. With a smile on her face, Adelaide collapsed.

***

The next day was full of more tests, all of which were degrading to some degree. Some were physical, some were mental, all were ridiculous. The only redeeming factor was that they had not yet replaced the camera in her enclosure. Even if Adelaide could only inconvenience them a little, she knew she was doing her job.

Every time Clara picked her up, she was offered food. And every time her stomach grumbled. And every time she denied it.

Adelaide realized that they were trying to condition her. She would get a reward (food) for every behavior they wanted to enforce. Without the threat of Luke hanging over her head though, she felt invincible. Nobody was going to hurt her. She was too precious to spare. An overheard conversation confirmed this.

“This won’t work if she doesn’t eat.” Wu.

“She has to want something. Her body will give out eventually and she’ll be forced to eat. We just need-” Clara.

“Yes, yes. You need more time. I understand your passion, Dr. Marshall, and I respect it. But we are wasting valuable time gathering redundant data that has no real-world application.”

“We can’t just assume-”

“For our purposes, we can assume quite a bit.”

“If I could just get her used to my touch-”

“She won’t get used to it, and you don’t need her to get used to it. Her comfort is not a priority, Dr. Marshall.”

A pause. “Yes, sir.”

Despite the conversation, Adelaide didn’t notice any difference in the way she was ‘handled’. Clara tried to be careful, but Adelaide didn’t care what she tried to do. ‘Careful’ didn’t matter in a situation like this. She was a hostage, and she was actively being tortured and tested. She felt nothing but pure loathing toward the woman.

The puzzles they provided were either too boring or too intricate, and either way, Adelaide wouldn’t complete them. And with each passing test, Clara grew more disappointed.

The physical challenges were harder to evade. They made her run until she was on the verge of throwing up. They made her climb until her arms shook. (Adelaide laughed at the net they set up underneath her. As if she didn’t climb these heights every single day.) They made her swim until she nearly drowned, which wasn’t long, because she couldn’t swim. It was the first time Adelaide felt truly intimidated by one of the tests. Surely, they wouldn’t let her drown, she thought. If they saw her struggling to keep her head afloat, they’d pull her out…right?

They eventually did, but not before she inhaled so much water that it burned her lungs.

And all the while, she knew the little chip in her neck was taking all the measurements they wanted. It made her sick.

Shivering, sore, and coughing up a lung, Adelaide sat huddled on a towel while the scientists moved about the room. She could leap off the counter right now and end it all. It was so close. But the thought of what they’d do to her if they caught her, combined with the aches and pains that radiated throughout her body every time she moved, kept her rooted in place.

The time to think about it was over. Clara returned. She snatched Adelaide up and brought her close to her face, examining her. “Oof, you look pretty banged up.” She used her thumb to turn Adelaide’s head left and right.

Adelaide felt the strain in her neck. If Clara just pushed a little harder…

“Well, we have a surprise for you. I hope you like it.”

Adelaide was hastily set down on the counter where her enclosure was usually kept, and what stood before her rendered her speechless. It was a house. It was a human house, but for someone her size. Like a dollhouse, she supposed. She wasn’t sure what to think. She wasn’t sure what they wanted her to think.

There was obviously no retreat with Clara standing directly behind and directly above her, but Adelaide did not want to go in. The house had an ominous energy about it, almost like it was haunted. It would provide a sense of cover from prying eyes, sure, but she knew it was all artificial. That thing had to be full of cameras.

Slowly, Adelaide gathered herself off the cold countertop and approached the front door. To see such a distinctly human thing on her scale was unsettling. Sometimes she wished she could do things as easily as Beans, but not like this.

One glance back at Clara confirmed that she was taking note of the borrower’s every move. So, Adelaide marched right up to and through the door, and slammed it closed. She leaned against the frame and slowly slid until her butt touched the carpeted floor. She couldn’t break down now. They were monitoring her, she just knew it.

It was quite literally a house, down to the very last detail. Light fixtures hung from the ceiling, furniture scaled perfectly to her size was arranged like any Bean would arrange their furniture, stairs led up to…somewhere. The walls were painted a pale shade of green and the carpet fibers were short but soft.

Adelaide probably could’ve spent a whole day marveling at the carpet itself. Regular carpet was annoying. It was hard to trudge through and collected dust and debris like nobody’s business. But this…Maybe she understood why Beans liked it.

She turned her attention toward the light switch. There was no way…

Adelaide flicked it into the upward position like she’d seen Ian do a billion times, and to her surprise, the lights actually turned on. This place actually had electricity.

Eventually, Adelaide happened upon a bedroom. Just like everything else, the bed was modeled after human furniture. Curtains hung unmoving against a window that looked out at a blank white wall. The silence was eerie.

Along the way, Adelaide spotted a number of cameras, this time covered by some kind of glass or plastic. Unbreakable.

This was too much. She didn’t want this, especially under these circumstances. Whatever they wanted to gather from her, she wouldn’t give it to them. All the anger, all the resentment, all the frustration that had been building over the past few days - it was time to let it out.

The first thing Adelaide destroyed was the bed. She ripped the covers off, then upended the mattress. She tore down the curtains, pulling the bar off the wall as well. She pulled the drawers out of the dresser, she broke as much wood as she could manage, then moved onto the next room.

Adelaide screamed. She was sick of being treated like an animal. She was sick of being handled without her consent. She was sick of Clara and Luke and Henry Wu and every other person in this goddamn building. She was sick of hurting.

And so, she screamed and yelled and destroyed every single thing possible in the odd house. By the end of her tirade, it looked as though a tornado had swept through. Not an inch of the floor was visible. The electricity no longer worked. Or maybe it did, but the light fixtures were on the ground with the rest of the mess.

She wasn’t able to get to any of the cameras. She tried everything - from wood to metal to her bare fists - the casing would not break, and the red lights continued to blink. Adelaide cried as she sat amongst the rubble. Once the tears started, they wouldn’t stop. She wanted to go home. 

Her knuckles and feet bled, staining whatever was around her. She stared at the splinters that stuck out of the wounds, not bothering to pull them out. Her eyes slowly fluttered closed, and her last thought was a hope that she would not wake up.

Unfortunately, Adelaide did wake up, and rather abruptly. Bright white light lit up the whole house, but she barely registered it as a large hand wrapped around her limp form. It held her limbs tightly against her body, and she immediately began to panic. She squirmed about as much as the small space would allow, which wasn’t much.

Please, just let it be over.

Adelaide was hastily deposited on the counter. It was a spot she hadn’t been before, or maybe it was, but now there were metal restraints built into the counter itself.

She didn’t even care who was holding her. All that mattered was getting away. (Though she did figure out it was Clara.) She pushed at the fingers that tried to pin her down and scrambled away as fast as she could. It was a sea of fighting limbs, but in the end, the finger caught one of her legs. The momentum caused her to fall forward, and it felt like her leg was yanked out of its socket. She was pulled backward, the counter squeaking as her skin dragged against it, and she tried desperately to claw into its hard surface, to slow time down even for a moment.

But this was a Bean. Beans always won. This Bean was no exception. She held her leg in place as he closed the restraint around it, and from there it was futile. That didn’t mean Adelaide would stop trying, even as the finger pushed on her chest. Even as each limb was secured. 

She squeezed her eyes shut and tugged against the restraints, feeling them dig into her bones. If she could get the bones to break, her hands would easily fit through the small gap. From there, she would just have to…she could just…

“Yeah, that’s - that’s her.”

Adelaide froze. There was no way. She was imagining it, or they were pulling some cruel trick and calling it an ‘experiment’. But as much as she didn’t want to open her eyes and face the harsh reality they put upon her, she had to know.

Adelaide opened her eyes. Two men stared down at her with cold, hard eyes. One was Dr. Wu. The other was Ian Malcolm.

Shadow consumes the Sun

Diricawl

There was space between them that belonged to Anne.

This excerpt can be read as a stand alone. It is part of chapter 3 of Shadow consumes the Sun (AO3)

Excerpt summary: Ominis has accepted Anne will not be returning to Hogwarts. But he worries for Sebastian, who has left his heart in Feldcroft. Perhaps the new transfer student will distract his friend.

Tags: no use of y/n, sebastian sallow x f!mc, the fic itself contains ominis gaunt x f!mc

This fic contains complex themes and an exploration of dark magic and wizarding culture

Soft hissing filled the dead air of the Hogwarts Express compartment Ominis chose. As usual, he had arrived at King’s Cross Station so early that he was the first wizard to step inside the train when it pulled to a stop. Unusually, Sebastian entered the train only when it shrieked its last warning, sighing a dull greeting and joining the space Ominis spent the last hour guarding from others with a stare he was told to be fearsome.

He could not focus on the adventure novel whispering in his ear, but did not care to stop the spell. Upon entering their second year, Sebastian had meticulously narrated the entire ride to Hogwarts with what he saw out the window, ignoring his sister’s continuous groans on his five-hundredth utterance of ‘over there is a field of grass’. In the following years, he always chose to mention the highlights of the scenery when they passed.

Ominis was sure they already passed The Lady of the Three Lakes without comment.

Sebastian was desolate, he knew. He knew. Had they not experienced the same fierce, protective anger, the same anguished, childish tears, the same bleak, crushing acceptance of Anne’s condition together? Except, Sebastian accepted St. Mungo could provide no answer. He still believed a cure remained. Which was what Ominis also knew. Sebastian believed a cure ought to be obtained. This was where they disagreed.

Dark Magic could bring the dead back to life, grant immortality, and mass-kill thousands with a single ritual. It could nullify some little goblin curse. Ominis knew more than Sebastian ever could or should that Dark Magic had its dark consequences.

And yet.

The faint aura Ominis so diligently made himself attuned to ever since he was eleven in potions class had been withering for the nine months they’ve been unable to communicate with Anne. Sebastian still gave off a sense of pine and forest, but his branches were dry, stale. The bitter smoke of the blasting curse Ominis taught him remained in his scent.

I spent half my summer sleeping in the manor’s library so I wouldn’t waste a second in my search for anything that could help, he wanted to say. I revisited books I swore off and delved so dark that Grandfather said he was starting to be unashamed of me.

I found nothing that would remove suffering. Don’t get as ruined as I am to reach the same conclusion.

Ominis tilted his head left to mimic looking out the window. It put people at ease when he made sight-related gestures and while Ominis was loath to force himself into the skin of a creature he wasn’t, he was inclined to pretend a normality if it could bring out his friend. 

Sebastian developed a pretence of a person when they left the train for carriages, stumbling into one with Adelaide Oakes and Evangeline Bardsley. They started with the same useless small talk of what everyone did over holiday. Neither of the boys’ responses were sufficient to tide them for the journey, Sebastian’s being starkly morose and his own sparse.

It was unacceptable to say Ominis spent so long delving into the dark arts that maybe could someone check if some of it hadn’t stuck to his fingers? And he certainly wasn’t going to say to working-class Adelaide and mudblo-muggleborn Evangeline that the most enjoyable thing he did this summer was get a wandless tripping jinx to stick to Arcturus Black at a hippogriff racing event hosted by Josephina Flint, Minister for Magic most known for spearheading anti-Muggle laws.

When they crossed the wards of Hogwarts, his ears popped. A few minutes later Sebastian remarked they were heading up to the gate. Outside they found their Housemates and grouped within their year.

“Whose prick did he have to suck to get named Prefect?” hissed Priscilla Wakefield from the lower left of him.

“Slughorn,” Sebastian clarified, “has been in more detentions than Weasley. He would have had to at least bend over for it.”

“Gross,” Priscilla said, as if she had not been the one to bring it up.

“Who else would be possible?” Ominis said. “Snyde is such a blood purist he’ll even bully half-bloods and I’m blind.” He didn’t mention Sebastian’s disqualifications.

Priscilla shifted, fabric against fabric to cross her arms. “I would have chosen a girl. We can go into the boys dormitory anyways.”

“Great. We’ll be outnumbered in class, sports, and authority,” said Sebastian sarcastically.

“And we would all be better for it. Muggles could never achieve that,” Priscilla replied with a meaningful silence that might have been accompanied with a pointed glance towards whatever muggleborn she still had a grudge against despite the school break.

Sebastian brushed up against Ominis’s side and started walking. He said challengingly to Priscilla, “What do you know of muggles?”

“What do you know of muggles?”

The conversation ended because neither of them really knew anything about muggles and Ominis only ever heard them scream or say things that would lead to them screaming. 

They entered the Reception Hall to… something different. A magical creature of some sort. It took up the space of a thestral and brought back the memory of this morning, where he left Gaunt Manor with dew still in the air. He listened for whispered remarks of other students. When that proved insufficient, making it more likely an enchanted item than an animal, he raised his hand and bumped Sebastian’s shoulder blade.

Sebastian lowered his voice, “Hey Traian, who’s the girl?” A pause. “No one knows?”

Ominis flicked his wrist, unsheathing his wand from its holster. His awareness became greater. A short, living body was situated a few inches to the left of him. People in pairs of two queued to the front and back of him. A figure roughly two inches taller than him was to his front. Away from the order, a short humanoid stood near a large opening of the wall. Just as quickly, his wand went back under his sleeve.

They continued stepping forward.

“Describe her,” Ominis said.

“She’s around our age and not wearing any House colours.” So a transfer student. Hogwarts was just brimming with them these days. “She looks bored with the attention she’s getting- probably pureblood with Malfoy relations.” By which Sebastian meant upper society, although Ominis thought it silly to act like no one else could possibly have decorum. “I don’t know what more; she’s just standing there.”

Despite his scant report, genuine interest sparked in Sebastian’s tone. Ominis was glad for it as much as he was jealous. All summer, all the letters and the visits to Feldcroft he bartered from his family and some unknown girl lightens his spirits within a few seconds. Good, he tried to make himself think. Maybe he’ll get distracted with some puppy love instead of descending into the dark over Anne.

Though it sickened him to think his second best friend and formerly closest confidant could be easily replaced.

“She’s pretty,” Traian Slughorn said.

Ominis rolled his eyes. “You think anything with a skirt is pretty.”

“Hey, I like people without skirts too.”

They entered the Great Hall and took their seats. The clacking of Professor Weasley’s heels led an undistinguishable mass of first-years to the centre of the room along with the girl. The Sorting Ceremony proceeded. A few names were called before hers.

 “Anesidora Fig!”

People shifted in their spots to whisper closer to their friends.

“Do you think she’s Professor Fig’s daughter?” Nerida Roberts asked.

“A daughter of a seventy-year-old professor and one who never went to Hogwarts until now?” Imelda Reyes disdainfully said, ever quick to cut down her former friend.

Priscilla giggled. “Maybe she’s a secret love child.”

There went the Hogwarts rumour mill, besmirching the reputation of someone they only knew the name of. After last year when Anne’s honour was dragged through the mud without being there to defend herself, Ominis was tired of gossip. He could handle ignorant ideas about his blindness or unqualified opinions on his family, but messing with the lives of people much better than him made Ominis want to teach gossip mongers why the Gaunt name was respected.

It was fortunate Slytherins valued intra-House loyalty, which often kept the viciousness they were known for from seriously attacking their own kind. If his own roommates repeated some of the lies about Anne that Gryffindors joked about, his father would have had to step in to prevent him from being expelled.“I hope she’s not with us,” Sebastian said to the left of him. “The gender-ratio is skewed enough.” By which he meant: the empty bed in the girl’s dormitory is already claimed.

Types of Skip Bin to Hire For Safe Garbage Disposal

One confusion that business owners always have in mind when they hire skip bins is related to the size. The reason is the presence of a wide variety of sizes to confuse anyone looking to hire skip bins in Adelaide. Businesses need to choose right sized skip bins because a too-big bin will be an unnecessary waste of money, and a too-small bin will increase the risk of getting fined for bin overfilling. Here is a blog post that discusses different bin types and their sizes.

Note: All measurements are taken in cubic metres, i.e., length x width x height.

What Types Of Skip Bins Are Available For You?

Marrell Skip Bins

This is the most commonly used skip bin type for domestic and commercial waste collection. When you hire a skip bin in Adelaide, you will find sizes starting from 2 cubic metres to 17 cubic metres. An exciting feature of the marrel skip bin hired by you is that it will have higher sides and will be shorter in length than hook lift skip bins. A marrell is lifted up by chains attached to hydraulic arms & then lowered off the back of the truck.

Hook Lift Skip Bins

Hook lift skip bins get the name from the method used to load the waste bin in and out of the truck. For loading and unloading, the truck uses a sizable hydraulic hook to grab the skip bin and roll it off towards the back of the truck. They are rectangular and feature a large rear opening door, and the size ranges from 4 cubic metres to 30 cubic metres.

Mobile Skip Bins

They are a perfect solution when you want to hire skip bins in Adelaide, but the place to park them is tough to choose. They will feature lockable lids to prevent people from dumping garbage into them. They are a convenient option for safe garbage disposal, but a downside is that only specific types of garbage can be dumped. This includes general waste, light, green waste, building waste, and dry timber. Items that should not be dumped in the skip bin hired by you are soil, bricks, concrete, rubble, etc. These bins are available in small sizes – 3 and 4 cubic metres for safe transportation.

Above all these options, skip bags are considered a convenient and cheaper alternative to skip bins hired by you. Here are the incredible features of using skip bags.

You can put anything

A more cost-effective alternative 

Come in 3 convenient sizes

Lightweight & easy to use

No time restraints

Utilised in small areas

Multiple usage options
