The Holders Series/Fridge

• Fridge Logic - How could these instructions have possibly been collected? Many of them describe situations which are impossible to escape alive or sane.
  • Also, since the vast majority of the stories begin with "In any city, in any country, go to any mental institution or halfway house you can get yourself to ", doesn't that imply (by way of the word any) that theoretically all of the Holders whose instructions begin with those words could be in the same institution? Obviously they're not, but that's not what Fridge Logic is all about...
  • There's no reason why they can't be in the same institution. Its pretty clear that the holders avert the normal rules of geometry.
  • Why doesn't The End of the World as We Know It need the 2000 lost objects?
    • Probably because all of the lost objects have already come together. Or have been destroyed, which accomplishes the same thing. Either way, it's Fridge Horror.
