A Savory Trail

Like, after braving the breezy entryway, a wonderful toasty smell pulled my trembling nose straight around the corner into the kitchen! Tiptoeing along the slick white floor tile while holding Scoob tight against my ribs, I froze. Right near the wooden base of a low cabinet was a glossy red box of crackers, leaning on its side! Beneath the open cardboard flap lay a fallen golden cracker square, perfectly dusted with salt and tiny baked perforations. Scoob gave an eager sniff against my chin, licking his chops. I gingerly knelt down, scooped the crispy square between my fingers, and snapped off a crunchy corner for Scoob.
