A Higher View

My shiny blue bead was safe at the post, so I looked straight up! A low wooden bar stretched between the chair legs like a bridge. I reached high, gripped the carved edge, and gave a huge heave! Scrape, shuffle—pop! My base cleared the gap and settled flat on the polished bar. I stood tall and balanced. The whole grey rug stretched out below like an open valley! You should see it from here—I can spot everything!
