The Boot Bunker

Mmph! I squeezed back inside through the chilly door flap, dragging that heavy hex nut across the linoleum. Right against the dusty baseboard sat a giant, unbuckled snow boot flopped on its side. Mmmph-rmph! I shoved my rusty metal ring deep into the dark rubber toe, then wriggled in after it headfirst. The fleece lining caught on my hood, but I kicked hard until my boots popped all the way inside. Once I spun around and poked my face out through the woolly collar, nobody could spot me unless they looked right down into the fluff. Warm, quiet, and completely hidden. Mmph!
