FFFTTD Day 2: “Write a story where the first line is the first sentence of the last email you received.”
Thank you for participating in the Texas Gas Service Paperless Billing program.
Sure, we have a governor who’s about as intelligent as a stegosaurus. Well, maybe not quite a stegosaurus. What’s that sort of extra, smaller brain some dinosaurs had in their butts? Buttbrain is definitely not the scientific term. Hindbrain. Our governor is basically equivalent to a stegosaurus hindbrain covered in helmet hair.
Okay, and he may have had multiple meltdowns during the presidential debates. And he thinks the American revolution happened in the 16th century. And we elected him.
So, yeah, our state is pretty much a walking punchline right now.
But, you know what? The Texas Gas Service gives a fuck. We give a fuck about trees. And so, apparently, do you.
Once again, thank you for participating in the Texas Gas Service Paperless Billing program.

I was very tempted to make this the first line of the last personal e-mail I received, because then I could have worked with this: “Thought you might appreciate this: honest-to-goodness real-retro-futuristic footage of the launch of the U.S. response to Sputnik.”
Instead, I had to use the first line of my gas bill.
