Shit! No toilet paper! I should know better after the last debacle!

Always check before sitting and committing!

“Excuse me, in the next stall, can you spare a square?”

A strange hand peeks out offering one tiny quadrate.

Marilyn grabs it, contemplating how she’s going to use one tiny piece of single ply to wipe herself completely clean.

She burrowed in her bag for something, anything! A McDonalds wrapper? A Chipotle napkin? A feminine pad?

The square’ll have to do.

She cautiously wipes before blotting both lips on the carefully creased paper.

Fire engine red was always her best color.
