Smells in the Air

I used to work as a candy maker at Disneyland. The candy store was on Main Street and there’s a little pot of vanilla scent with a fan behind it to waft vanilla scent out onto the street where people are walking by.

Once I saw a huge rat by the trash compactor when I was taking out some cardboard. Another time I was written up by my manager for accidentally dropping like $1000 worth of caramel apples because a feral cat came up and scared the heck out of me.

To sum up, there’s a cat and mouse turf war backstage and they lure you into the candy store with a pot of vanilla.
