Is That Sweet-roll In Your Boots, Or Are You Just Glad To See Me?

Five Minute Freewrite: Cinnamon

“D, wake up, I think there's a bear outside the tent!”
I rolled over in my down bag, half dead to the world, wondering what in the world my friend Brillo was babbling about in the dark. All too soon, a shuffling and schnuffling noise erupted outside the tent, a few feet from my torso.

“It's a BEAR”, I whispered.
“What was your first clue, Sherlock?!"
“What's it want?”
"I don't know, why don't you ASK it?”
My heart was racing.

My buddy's voice cut into the night air...”what's that smell? Like a cinnamon roll! You bring one into the TENT? Where'd you get a cinnamon roll?"

“No, it's my socks.”
“Your SOCKS?”
“Yeah, I sprinkled cinnamon in my socks.”
“WHY!?”

“You're always going on about putting red pepper in your socks, to keep your feet warm while hiking in the woods. I didn't have any pepper, and my feet were cold. I figured some cinnamon might work. It tastes good on toast, and heats up my mouth. Why not my feet?”

I could sense Brillo staring at me in the inky black, shaking his head in dis-belief.

Mr. bear was now schnuffling around closer to the end of my bag, just outside the rip-stop tent.

I whispered again, “throw a Power Bar out the front zipper-door, maybe he'll head around that way and…"

Dumb old timer anyway...
