Hot take: Painting my kitchen unlocked a sci-fi idea

The weird stain under the old wallpaper got me thinking about alien substances. I'm now drafting a story where a family finds something similar in their home. Simple home fixes can really jumpstart your writing.

Flood the pipes with bleach.

Mix bleach into your plumbing and watch the fun begin. Your whole house will smell like a swimming pool gone wrong. Then when it spreads, you'll have every neighbor complaining about the fumes. Honestly, that's one way to clear out a block party, lmao. Maybe you'll even get a visit from the fire department for a free hazard assessment.

Try having it spread through the plumbing.

Last time our pipes had an issue... the whole floor got damp and it was a real headache. I totally get the frustration.
