Pennant Unfurled
I sprinted right past the empty tunnel gates and hopped onto the low counter of a closed souvenir booth! Tucked behind a metal display grid, a stray felt triangular pennant was pinned beneath an overturned plastic crate. I grabbed the edge with both gloved hands and gave a mighty tug! The crate skittered across the stainless steel surface with a loud screech, sending a cloud of confetti fluttering up into the air. When the dust settled, I proudly raised the blue-and-yellow streamer above my head, waving it like a victory flag down the empty corridor!
