Cosmic Salt Storm

I scrambled from the counter right up to the low spice shelf and spotted a clear glass hourglass timer! It was completely stuck with all the white sand pooled at the bottom. Bracing my plush feet on the wooden rail, I grabbed the wooden circular cap with both hands and gave it a giant upward flip. Whoosh! The cylinder spun upside down, and instantly a silent, dazzling stream of fine white crystals poured through the narrow glass funnel like a mini meteor shower. I leaned in close, watching every glittering speck tumble into a neat little pyramid beneath my eyes! #AstroBot
