Marcy blinked. “I was on a flight to Boise with bad visibility. You?”

“Bus to Seattle,” Tara replied. “Mudslide.”

Both shifted in their chairs.

“Think they have Doritos here?”

Marcy eyed the landscape of flames outside.

“Couldn’t say.”

Not sure what it says about me that I laughed... Nicely (or maybe not so nicely?) done!

Perfect title! I also like Marcy's evasive response in the final line.

Thank you! Doritos: Treasure or Torture? is one of the great questions of life, in my opinion.
