On a sunny Saturday the doorbell rang. Was a courier really disturbing a planned lazy day? I accepted an envelope made from an upside-down map; it, in turn, contained a card printed up to resemble a lottery ticket. Clever! It was actually an event invitation for a scavenger hunt. I laced up my athletic shoes and sprinted for the door.

Item1: A rabbit's foot. That was easy. There was a keyring in the cupboard with that very thing. Check. Item 2 required a quick trip to Dark Disneyland to find ... a flying mouse wing? Sure enough, in the weird and wonderful souvenir section of the dark mouse's Kingdom was such a thing. But attached to a mousetrap?! Yuck! Very sinister marketing, but Check. Item #3 was mascara. Easy peasy. I rummaged inside my handbag, and there it was. Check. Item 4: black tomatoes. Hmm. My neighbour grew heirloom vegetables. With a stealthy reach over the fence, I had my prize. But wait. Had Snarfy already sampled it?! His teeth marks were quite evident. Oh well. It didn't specify a black tomato with skin totally intact. Check. The final item, sapphire crumbs, needed only a trip to the local bakery supply shop. There in the specialty section was blue sapphire sugar dust. Gluten-free too! A quick purchase resulted in the final check mark for my list.

This should have meant completion of the scavenger hunt, but I took it over the top by wrapping all the items inside Picture of the Forest parchment paper. I loved the expression on the judge's faces when I presented it!
