The story of Thunderstripe Windbreaker

You heard a Thunderstripe before you saw it. Every step made a swish, every arm swing made a crinkle, and the whole hallway knew when you went to sharpen your pencil. It folded into its own pocket, which nobody ever managed twice. The lightning stripe glowed under the roller rink black lights like a superhero logo.

Fun fact

Thunderstripe owners could identify each other in total darkness purely by the pitch of the crinkle.
