Hello my friend
Great entry for the
50 Word Flash Fiction writing prompt contest. This is funny and terrifying at the same time....lol...It's definitely a dribbled story as it should be. Good word count. Well done my friend.

Sad if true!
But, as the saying goes, every cloud has a silver lining and I am sure for every 20 people or companies to have suffered, one will have profited.
I am sure you will do well with this piece given the topical nature of your topic.
Cheers

This fifty-word flash fiction story, The Investigation, has the required word count and finds humor where it can be flushed out.

Back in the future? Thanks for sharing the news, four years before it breaks.
I'm glad they're going to catch the crooks who caused that next Charmin shortage soon!
Good luck in the voting!

Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
This is an excellent Dribble. It is an impressively well-rounded story for a mere 50 words, with background (what happened 4 years ago), body (hunt the cause), climax (conspiracy theory) and relaxation (tag).
I'm not sure conglomerate is actually the right word

Comment from Patty Palmer
LOL I still don't get the reason people ran out to buy toilet paper. I felt like I was part of the Charmin Bear family, needing to get my Charmin fix. There was none to be found. By the time I stood in line to buy my 1limit maximum toilet paper and paper towels, they were out again. I wonder if everybody knows something I don't.
Good luck with the contest!

Lol. Thank you for the hilarious review, Patty. Yeah, I don't know the reasoning behind the lack of toilet paper either. I'm just glad we made it through. Lol. Have yourself a wonderful day. Thank you again.

Comment from Liz O'Neill
This is timely and amusing, a bit of a tragicomedy. I myself, wonder how much Charmin has invested in this. During the Puerto Rico hurricane, it was paper towels and now it's toilet paper. I wonder if there is a connection. Are they a subsidiary of the same conglomerate? Well thought out.

Comment from Amanda Louise Davis
I think this would be better if it had more info, but of course, then it wouldn't fit in with the prompt. I think this leaves too much open to us and doesn't actually give us enough info to do our own research either.

Thanks. If I had more than 50 words to work with I'm sure I'd have put a lot more info in there. But it's just a stupid joke that apparently some folks don't get no matter how many words there are. Thanks for the review though, Amanda.
Comment from thaities, Rebecca V.
Where the pandemic originated will always be in debate. The toilet paper run conspiracy can certainly be considered.
This is a good entry for the 50 Word Flash Fiction writing contest. Good luck!

Comment from AJ McCall
I love these 50-word flash fiction stories. And I love the last line. 2020 will be a year to remember. Especially with the toilet paper thing. I actually saw a video of someone putting it in a safe. Great poem!
