A Tiny Yellow Surprise

Wha—? Hello?! I blinked, expecting someone on the other end of the line, but there was only silence. Then I realized my feet were actually wiggling! Right across the beige surface, four stiff little costumed fellows stood lined up in total silence, staring into space. But forget them—what was that sparkly golden thing on the surface in front of them? I took a cautious step forward and poked at the small translucent yellow crumb with one toe. Soft! Sticky! A snack! I didn't even have to hang up my phone to claim it.
