Before you can get another scream out, the sides of the tent bulge, and then part, and a young man tumbles into you. He seems to have been crying quite recently and he is clutching some sodden, partly burned papers. You notice faint pink fingermarks on his cheek (left upper) as he rights himself.
"Well I say retired. None of the allegations were ever proved." Grind, grind, crunch, scritt, screee, says the stone. Then, a dry, scratchy patter and trickle as if of sand falling onto more sand. "Now, would you like a slice of speltcake," I say. You start to scream

Viewers arrived today, impressively! However, they have fingermarks (suggesting poor handling) and possible scratches on, and I do not want to damage my eyesight, so I will probably not use them.
I booked Wednesday afternoon off work not realising the eclipse was happening, but it should mean I have plenty of time to get to a high spot for optimum viewing, helpfully. I have now ordered some handheld viewers: www.darkclearskies.co.uk/products/hel... (Am also not above making a pinhole camera)

If your remaining pair of glasses is still up for grabs and a handover wouldn't be too much of a faff, that would be really great; my handheld viewers have arrived (yay!) but all have fingermarks and what look like scratches (boo) and I don't feel confident about using them.

Many movie-lovers would admit that the traces of that labour (and thus of the love that drove the labourers to their expertise) are sadly missed in work that has ‘solved’ the budget problem with digital technology. CGI Yoda; Aardman without fingermarks in the plasticine.

To me, it would depend on what type of cheese. When my son lived at home, he would pull out cheese with, I guess, less than sanitized fingers. A day or two later, there would be a perfect copy of his fingermarks on it--in mold. That cheese would go out!

Would you? If there was no bruising, no bleeding, no torn clothes, no video of you being dragged by your hair kicking and screaming, no witnesses to you pleading for him to stop, no broken fingernails or black eyes, or fingermarks on your neck, or torn knickers. How do you prove you said 'NO'?

When WExam breaks an administration story it's due to infighter moves. Look to his trail of potential successors for fingermarks.

I like the greyscale palette here doing all the emotional work without ever being explained:
-ash-coloured turkey
-pewter fingermarks
-grey peas with black cranberries
Even the daffodils at the end only manage almost-yellow.

If you're going to describe your item on eBay as "hardly used, great condition" probably best not to illustrate it with a picture showing it covered in greasy fingermarks, skinflakes and cat hair, tbh.

In 1810, Polly Williams was murdered at White Rocks in Fayette County, PA. Some say the rocks are still stained by the bloody fingermarks she left as she clung desperately to cliff-edge and that the place is haunted.

In food history, we notice how super-refined foods--gelatin, vienna sausage, white bread--lose class and become horrifying once they become industrialized. Suddenly, fingermarks in bread dough demonstrate skill, not clumsiness.
Post-chatGPT, I'm feeling this about writing. Smoothness feels gross.
