Prompt snippets

Inside the blue plastic outhouse, the small bathroom is utilitarian and compact. The molded plastic walls curve inward, their bright blue color lit by a shaft of daylight through a tiny vent. A simple seat, footrest ridges, and a dispenser are neatly built into the structure, giving it a clean yet temporary, portable feel.
