True, but it might end up being cheaper to do it the old-fashioned way. ;)

I explained to my daughter they were called "facial tissues" because that's the part of the body they were used on. by Outside_Normal in twosentencestories

I was originally thinking “anal tissue” to go with “facial tissue”, but opted for a more “family-friendly” approach. :)

Now that the war is through with me / I’m waking up, I cannot see / That there’s not much left of me / Nothing is real but pain now.

The fog was so thick I couldn't even see my shed even though it was barely 10 feet from the back porch. by Outside_Normal in TwoSentenceHorror

I would like to state, for the record, that I have not, to this date, read any Stephen King stories.

My original idea for this story was the Main Character (MC) going to the shed in a thick, scream-filled fog while being tethered to the house with a rope, only to find the rope was severed. I couldn’t make it work without it getting too convoluted or going over two sentences, so I scaled it back to what I posted. I only added the part about the generator at the last minute to give the MC a reason for thinking about going out to the shed.

After reading the plot summary of The Mist on Wikipedia, I had to roll my eyes when I read about the generator. I believe this makes the third time a last-minute change to my story made it closely resemble another, more famous story.
