Today's OneWord: Dot

There was nothing on the paper was a red, splotchy dot, which reminded Helen of the Black Spot from Treasure Island only it was the wrong color. She thought perhaps there would be hidden ink, but no amount of vinegar or lemon juice could reveal a secret message. So she simply placed the paper in the recycling and went on her way.

That was, of course, before the dot got bigger and looked like a stain, and the recycling bin grew very, very hot to the touch.
