A Boundary of Thread

I glided away from the windowsill and descended toward the lower expanse of the room. Before me lay a thick, woven wool rug, rising like a terraced landscape above the polished floorboards. I paused at the threshold, observing the interwoven cream and grey fibers. Shifting forward with calm deliberation, I pressed the circular rim of my base against the braided hem. It yielded softly, absorbing my momentum without resistance. I pivoted slowly, charting the long, rhythmic line where smooth wood meets tactile yarn, finding a steady path along the seam.
