OCTPOWRIMO 2026-2-Watching Paint Dry: "Did you see it? I swear, this time it moved!" Two girls huddled in front of a painted fence "Yeah, sure, it scooched, it maybe even grooved!" A bucket sits, innards used as a colourful expense "There's so much uncovered, did we do a bad job?" Sections of the wood clearly lack brown "Nah, the wind'll do it, just sit like a slob!" The mites race from their destiny to drown "Hey, they're ugly, and they're trying to get away!" The girls keep watching, not moving an inch "No chance, they won't make it, the paint's in play!" On the girls' word, bodies trapped, start to flinch "Ha-ha! Squirming, little bugs! Stupid things!" Entirely drenched, inside maws, paint clings "Take it all, drink it up! No-one will save you!" Two girls enjoy death by the morning dew.

The housing sector bears watching given its outsized role in the market economy. #WatchingPaintDry
