I told you: actual stink lines wave in the air above it. They’re hand-drawn.

Don’t believe me? Hold your breath (seriously, don’t breathe) and take a closer look.

See? Pencil marks.

…sorry I pulled you so hard there. They’d almost reached your nostrils. Stink lines get inside you, you’ll cough up graphite dust for a week.

I’ll be posting some creepy drabble (100-word stories) inspired by random word pairs here every Thursday for a while. I’m planning to do this for a few months or until I get sick of this particular writing exercise. No idea how long that will be…
