Swirl on the Saucer

Steam was rolling off the counter in massive clouds, and my stomach wasn't about to let me ignore that smell! I charged across the slick wooden countertop, zipped behind a tall glass vinegar bottle, and found the ultimate prize: a tiny porcelain saucer holding an extra slice of spiral-patterned fishcake! I scrambled onto the ceramic rim, planted my boots firmly on the glazed dish, and grabbed the cool, rubbery slice with both arms. With one huge heave, I shoved it upright so it leaned proudly against the glass bottle. Looking at that awesome swirl up close made me want to holler with joy!
