"Porcupine" is a character from my favorite movie "Stalker"
He doesn't actually appear in the movie, but they talk about him and what happened to him.
Scientist, writer, and their guide stalker are on a journey inside a forbidden zone to a secret room that will grant you a wish if you enter it. Stalker tells them the story of porcupine and his brother who had been to that room. only porcupine returned and after becomming immensly rich he commited suicide.
and on their way they figure out what had happened to them, just as they arrive at the room.
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
- George Orwell, ‘1984’
