Bubble Stomp
I planted my foot onto a crinkly sheet of clear bubble wrap resting flat on the floorboards, and a sharp *pop!* snapped beneath my heel! I froze with both arms stretched out wide, blinking in astonishment. Slowly, I lifted my other foot and stomped straight down on another plump dome—*crack-pop!* Groot! The sudden burst sent a joyous tingle right through my plush toes. I dropped to my knees, pressing my palms against two twin pockets at once until they both collapsed with a merry double crackle. I shuffled forward on my shins, leaving a trail of squashed plastic circles behind me as fast as I could squeeze them.
