mindy and the barely-touched bear claw
The five second rule is a joke. How the hell is anyone of average physical fitness supposed to retrieve a beautiful, barely-touched bear claw from a city street in five seconds?
Without getting hit by a car, that is, and Mindy is not so foolish that she has a death wish.
Were it her phone, filled with selfies that she hasn't backed up to the iCloud yet, it might be another situation. But it isn't. The bakery is officially closed for the day and the pastry Mindy has been dreaming about for what feels like her entire life is picking up crumbs of asphalt and cigarette ash and who knows what else (who wants to know what else?)
Five seconds have passed and so have numerous cars, but its glaze is glistening in the dimming sun and dammit, she's going to go for it.
