Description

Glass is beautiful. It's been used to build a lot of things. Ever seen stained glass windows? Those things are super neato. But most people would never think to build a mountain out of glass, and anyone who may have had that passing thought likely dismissed it just as quickly as it arrived. That apparently was not the case back in the olden times, when a glass mountain sounded like a phenomenal premise for a story. And I'm glad it did, otherwise we never would have been blessed with the strange and disturbing tale of Old Rinkrank. Have a laugh today, and when you tuck your children into bed tonight, warn them of the dangers of Old Rinkrank after today's episode of Funklore.
