The Pop Trail

A wide strip of clear bubble wrap lay sprawled across the hallway floorboards! I marched straight to the edge and planted a sturdy boot onto the nearest plump dome. Squish... POP! A crisp little crack snapped through the quiet hallway. I paused for half a second—then grinned. Another? Absolutely! I bent my knees, leaned forward, and stomped down with both boots right onto a cluster of three. SNAP-CRACKLE-POP! The bubbles flattened instantly under my soles, bouncing my feet with tiny vibrations. I stomped a whole rhythmic trail straight down the plastic track, leaving a bumpy path of deflated circles behind me!
