Chapter 7 — The Interior Reveal — Stacked Containers of Dog Treats
The interior shelves of the lower cabinet were packed tightly.
Several open bags of dry dog food leaned sideways against the wooden walls.
Plastic storage tubs filled with meaty biscuits sat crammed shoulder to shoulder on the bottom rack.
One of the large plastic storage bins had its lid knocked completely sideways.
Brown kibble spilled over the plastic rim of the container.
A steady trail of loose kibble stretched directly from the inside shelf out onto the hardwood kitchen floor.
The container had clearly been pushed outward from the inside by an eager animal snout.
George stared into the chaotic interior of the cupboard.
His mouth parted slightly as the reality of the packed shelves set in.
Paul reached his fingers inside the lower opening.
He traced the heavy plastic edge of the displaced storage tub.
He pulled his hand back quickly and pointed directly at the damaged rim.
Look right here at the edge, Paul said, gesturing to the plastic container.
