Butt Shell

a 100-word story

Butt Shell

What if humans had to wear shells on their butts like hermit crabs? What if we needed to protect our squishy, vulnerable parts in a clunky, heavy shell?

Some people might bedazzle them.

Maybe some would sport a matte finish, like high-end cars. Your shell could match your car.

If you had to go up or down a pant size, you’d need a new shell.

Your sensitivities would be protected inside something impenetrable. No one could expose those things about you.

But what’s difficult to get into, might also be hard to get out of.

Don’t get stuck.
