Minor Spice Emergency at The Salty Parrot

The Boardwalk experienced a rare moment of genuine tension this morning when Mrs. Crumble discovered that the cinnamon shaker at The Salty Parrot was sounding hollow. For a shop that prides itself on the good nature of its patrons, a lack of spice is considered a high-level logistical failure.

"A morning without cinnamon is just... a morning," Mrs. Crumble said, her voice carrying a hint of genuine tragedy. The word spread quickly, and for a brief moment, it looked as though the island's morning rhythm might skip a beat. However, the crisis was averted when Old Billy arrived from the bait shop, carrying a fresh, unopened tin of the spice.

"I keep a spare in the emergency kit," Billy explained with a shrug. "You never know when you'll need to season a lure or save a latte." The Boardwalk breathed a collective sigh of relief, and the scent of spiced coffee once again drifted across the town.
