All of a sudden, two beady black eyes reflected the glimpse of sunlight coming through a crack in the wall. Immediately, Zoe whiffed the chive potatoes and the sweet scent of maple bacon. Today, there was something different about the potatoes. After sniffing a few more times with no luck, she proceeded towards the crack of sunlight.
Zoe exits her home through the crack and goes in search for this marvelous new scent. As she is scuttling across the floor, she darts her beady black eyes around, looking for something out of the ordinary. On her right side around the corner, she sees a long hairy appendage wiggling softly back and forth as it protruded from a fuzzier and thicker figure, bewhiskered on the far side.
This beast had its head slumped down, distracted as it ate out of an elongated dish. Using this opportunity as an advantage, she darts past the beast’s rear to the far side of the room. Now within the beast’s field of view, Zoe tiptoes as much as she can towards the kitchen doorway. Quickly darting through the entryway, she looks up and sees what she has smelled all morning.
The dark brown chewy maple bacon and beside that on the plate were the lightly crisped and tanned potatoes flecked with green chives and yellow and orange…CHEESE! Zoe goes straight towards it, taking on the abilities of an acrobat in an attempt to get the cheese. The woman in the kitchen shrieks, losing the frying pan from her hand and it clanged loudly on the stove as she ran from the room. This startles the beast, who leaves his unfinished breakfast to see what has happened.
Looking up, the beast sees out of the corner of his eye the little pink nose emerging from the sink as it approached the plate. The beast springs to action taking down Zoe along with the much sought after plate. It crashes on the ground, blue glass now covering the floor. Zoe finesses her way through the sharp shards and manages to shield herself underneath the fridge. As she goes further back, she finds another crack in the wall. She enters it and examines the scene.
Cheese is still on the floor, but now the beast is feasting on it all. The woman re-enters the kitchen, and is stunned to see the mess. She begins to pick up the glass, but the beast keeps eating around her. She picks up the beast and removes him from the kitchen, places him elsewhere and shuts the door. During this brief moment of opportunity Zoe emerges from wall and under the fridge, grabbing the largest chunk of cheese she could fit in her mouth, and scurries back towards the wall.
