Butter in the Shelter?!

I just woke up a shelter resident. We wake-up calls daily, and I specifically wake this resident up daily. Normally the shelter smells like used cigarettes and body odor laced with a hint of mildew. However today I witnessed the strangest, most out of place scent one could imagine.

I opened the door to wake this woman up, and I was greeted with a waft of...melted butter?! Or perhaps some other kind of savory treat? This is completely impossible. There are no microwaves, no stoves, no hotplates, no electric kettles, or anything of the like allowed upstairs in the shelter!

And yet, it smelled like butter.

  1. Wow, Kat, you've been writing a lot! Keep it up, I enjoy reading it. As for your sort of sci-fi/fantasy story, I have no advice because I never really read that genre...I mean it seems interesting so far. :)
