  The Bryant Collection (2009)

  > x refrigerator (@ Kitchen)

  The old refrigerator was a simple one with a freezer on top and the fridge on the bottom. You'd always assumed your parents got it as a wedding gift. They've replaced it with a top-of-the-line model with the freezer on the bottom. Instead of crayon drawings, the front is covered with years-old Dean's List certificates and newsletters from your parents' church.

• Bullhockey 2: The Return of The Leather Whip (2019)

  > x refrigerator (@ Small Kitchen)

  It is a tall, shiny white model. Being not so used to having a "real" one, you have not yet adorned it with magnets and your drawings. It has a double-door, and you recall that you agreed to use--and clean--one side, while Natalie would have the other. The door on the right has a sign on it saying "Yours"; the door on the left has a sign on it saying "Mine". Thus you have a 50-50 chance of getting it right.

  Bullhockey! (2018)

  > x refrigerator (@ Living Room)

  This is the small old refrigerator that your grandfather gave to you. It is in the shape of a train safe, and is still working as efficiently as it did when you first got it.

• Candy (1997)

  ---

• The Frenetic Five vs. Sturm und Drang (1997)

  > x refrigerator (@ Kitchen)

  There are few more terrifying things in this world than a refrigerator full of other people's food -- especially when the other people are prone to putting things there for, say, a year or so, and then forgetting them. You still shiver with horror every time you remember opening the tinfoil-wrapped package in the freezer and finding Pastiche's dead hamster. "Oh, yeah, I was going to bury him when the weather warmed up," she said once you had finished screaming.

  At least it makes a nice surface to stick old comic strips to, though.

  ---

  > x refrigerator (@ Backyard)

  There are rust spots where water has begun to eat away at the metal from the outside. At least, you hope it's being eaten away from the outside.

  The House of Mystery (2018)

  > x refrigerator (@ Basement)

  • It's a device that contains food and conserves it at a reason temperature. People would often misspell "refrigerator" with a "D" because everyone says fridge mostly. College was no different either with you and your peers misspelling it over and over again. In the end, you decided to not even bother trying to spell it correctly and said fridge instead. Same goes with other words like "television as tv" and "telephone as phone." So many "tele's" have been removed, am I right?
  • A note on the fridge reads, "Confucius says: Good things come to those who wait."

• Nowheresville (2022)
