The Many Smells of 1404

Ever since the beginning of the semester there has been some not so lovely smells in our apartment.. and no matter how how much I clean there always seems to be one lingering. First there was our dishwasher (which has decided to return this week) that I cleaned and it went away for a while. Then the usual smells of the garbage... that is until one of my roommates decided to throw away sushi. The nasty smell in the apartment wasn't horrible until I opened the garbage to throw something away and the wall of green stench like in the cartoons hit my face and I thought I was going to die. However this has all been child's play until the potato incident. Our bishop brought over a truck load of produce from his garden and I am not exaggerating when I say truck load, so my roommates went down and got some potatoes, tomatoes, and squash. We ate the tomatoes but the squash and potatoes sat there for a long time. I was cleaning the kitchen one day and I had had enough of the bowls sitting on the counter. I went to take out the squash and I poked a potato. My pinkie punctured a potato how does that happen? It was so rotten; when I threw away the potatoes there was black gunk on the bottom of the bowl. The smell of these potatoes is still burned into my nose.
