Challenge of the Week CLXXIV
Toilet Paper. A boring commodity, or a precious resource? Let's see what you can do with such a mundane prompt. Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.
TERSORIUM.
Dylan: How are we out of toilet paper?
Sera: Owen’s toilet paper company faced a major lawsuit and lost most of its workers after losing the case.
Dylan: (sighs) Ugh!! What am I going to use in place of the toilet tissue?
Sera: Here you go! Use this ancient thing.
Dylan: What in the world is this contraption supposed to be?
Sera: Calm down. It’s called a tersorium. Good luck using it. (chuckles)
Dylan: (grumbles) unbelievable!
Sera: Congratulations! You can share this experience with your future grandchildren. (laughs)
Dylan: (smiles & shakes his head) This is just absurd!
