Short story about some dudes in a ye olde Adventurers Club who go to extinguish an eternal flame in a desert.

When they get there they're ambushed by some people who worship the flame; and the adventurers are sacrificed to keep it burning.

This is from a couple pages back, but I didn't see it answered. This American Life featured a story that sounds like yours in this episode. I think it was the one by Fiona Maazel, but I didn't like it enough to listen to the episode again to be sure, sorry.

I'm not sure I have enough details to find this but you never know. I'm looking for a childrens book, most likely from the early 90's with an almost Celtic art style. All I remember of the story is that there was a girl who I think was called Oona, a tower on a cliff and something to do with stars. I've been looking for this for years since I remember loving the illustrations as a kid.

This is a huge long shot and probably wrong but was it maybe Stardust by Neil Gaiman?

I remember this story. Once you ate it you could never enjoy anything else, it was so sinfully delicious, like a hosed up mermaid flesh thing.

This is an episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia

Ok I cannot for the life of me find this via google.

There is a book that apparently my 1st and 2nd graders both read (or had read to them) at school, where a cat goes and lives in the forest for a while and then when it returns it’s kind of mangled up and refuses to go back inside its house. Apparently in the end it does go back inside the house. It is not Into the Wild. I have no idea what book these kids are describing to me.

This is a really long shot but is it Cat, You Better Come Home?
