A Curious Whirlwind

I pushed past the kitchen doorway and marched straight toward the front hall to inspect the perimeter. Right near the entrance mat, a tiny dry maple seedpod was resting on the floorboards, shaped like a single delicate wing! I couldn't resist testing its aerodynamic capabilities. Standing tall on the woven mat, I hoisted the seedpod high above my head and tossed it into the air. It twirled down in a perfect little spin, tapping softly against my foot. A scientist must document physics in real time, so I unzipped my chest pouch, slipped the wooden wing right behind my button, and zipped it tight.#Yeeps #yeep
