A Hissing Discovery

I marched right up to a tall spray bottle sitting beside the sink, its bright turquoise nozzle gleaming like a tiny mechanical valve. Gripping the ribbed tip with both thick gloves, I gave it an energetic twist until it gave a satisfying click. I tilted my head sideways to inspect the mechanism, then leaned my weight into the trigger lever. A sharp, cheerful hiss puffed out, sending a cool burst of mist right across the dark lenses of my mask! Mmmph! I bounced on my boot heels and tapped my chest canisters in pure triumph, thoroughly impressed by my noisy new friend.
