Object
Wet Spruce Logs
Damp spruce logs, heavy with moisture from slow drying, crackle feebly as Josh and Sam cram them into the Mural Room's antique fireplace. Wet fibers sputter and resist ignition, spewing thick, acrid smoke that billows unchecked through the welded-shut flue, infiltrating hallways and choking the air. Alarms shriek as the fiasco erupts, drawing panicked rushes from Donna, Toby, C.J., and Charlie amid frantic banter exposing the duo's comical incompetence.
