from maddie's shutters #2: tompopcorn

Tom gives a cautious sniff to the yellow and white crumb-like object -- imaginary thought bubbles say:

"will it run or not?"
"do i know the smell?"
"what is it? can it be eaten?"

satisfied that the object in sight is most probably not going to run away, and though of a foreign olfactory yet possibly edible, Tom even licks his furry nose in anticipation.

And *maddie assures me that* Tom ate it all up! Yay! :D
