Family Reunion

 


This is Scooter.  He has brothers and sisters but over time, has lost track of them.  It was through an odd set of circumstances that Scooter now finds himself in strange surroundings.  In fact, at the moment, he is very unsure of this tile floor.  It is solid but offers no traction.

A sudden and persistent rainstorm caused him to seek shelter, and a set of quick decisions, such as going left or right has landed him here.  Only Scooter knows what he has gone through, climbing over pipes and under cabinets, through sticky spider webs, all while under the cover of darkness.

Scooter has stopped in his tracks.  Suddenly he is in bright light, but it doesn’t feel warm like the sun.  It is odd and just a little scary.  He guesses it to be more like a 100-watt lightbulb.  He’d heard about those but until now has never been exposed to one.

Little does he know, Scooter’s next adventure will put him in contact with the completely different texture of paper towel.  Soft and pliable, and warmer than this cold, impersonal ceramic tile.  He will experience the feeling of movement, only to again find himself in unfamiliar surroundings, and hopefully reunited with lost family members.
