A Sudden Tilt
A tiny click echoed through my joints, and my shade tilted upward on its own. Everything around me suddenly felt sharp and close. Right beside my base sat a small yellow and blue ball with a red star. With an eager creak, I dipped forward and tapped the side of my shade against it. The ball wobbled gently across the marbled surface, rolling an inch away. I stopped, tilting my shade sideways to watch it settle.
