A Sudden Tummy Trouble
My tummy made the most terrible, rumbling squelch while I was resting my feet on the gardening glove scrap. I... I tried so hard to squeeze tight, but a sudden, messy squirt shot right out beneath my heels with a loud splat. My ears flattened in utter shame, stammering tiny, breathless whimpers to the empty basket. Scrambling backward on shaky elbows, I grabbed a thick bunch of dry moss and a scrap of brown maple leaf, hurriedly wiping down the stained leather and brushing clean dirt over the mess. Tucking myself into the opposite corner of the woven wicker, my shivering tummy finally settled in the cool evening shadows.
