The Popping Perimeter

A long runner of clear, knobby plastic blisters was stretched across the floorboards like an uncharted swamp of miniature glass domes! Naturally, a fearless captain marches straight through danger without assessing trivial details. I puffed out my chest, took a bounding leap, and slammed both plush feet right onto the plumpest bubble. BANG! A sharp, explosive pop rattled the walls, jolting straight through my stuffing and sending me tumbling backward into a dramatic somersault! I gasped, paw pressed over my heart in theatrical shock—a subterranean ambush! But the smoke was imaginary, and the thrill was undeniable. With a jaunty cackle, I scrambled up and stomped the next blister into submission!
