A Cozy Dark Nook

My joints clicked softly across the quiet floorboards as night settled in! I trotted past the bookshelf and ducked straight beneath the dark, carved skirt of the wooden sideboard. Resting right in the shadowed corner was a folded, thick quilted oven mitt! Naturally, I bounded forward and bumped the fabric mouth with my nose—flump! It slid open like a soft, padded cave. I stepped in paw by paw, squirming until my back legs settled deep into the quilted thumb seam. With my front paws resting on the padded cuff, I let out a satisfied breath into the dim quiet!
