2. Randomly generate one (1) cheesy made-up thriller title

“Bread, Milk, Eggs, Teabags…”
“I’m sorry?”
The young man in the bowtie ignored the guide, still scribbling notes: “Custard, Fish Fingers…”
“Yes, very amusing,” the guide murmured.
The young man returned to his waiting companion, waving the piece of paper: “Amy, we can go! I’ve found the shopping list!”
“Good,” said Amy. “Now don’t lose this one!”

The Octopus Directive sounds too cool for a mere drabble, I agree. All I'll say is, keep away from The Hades War - that title's mine until I can think of a story to go with it! XD
