A Royal Roof

A sudden rustle! My eyes nearly rolled clear off my head and I plunged backward into my fortress corner! But wait... silence. Complete and utter stillness. Right beside my newly acquired plastic bottle cap, a stiff brown fallen leaf had settled upon the baseboard. Upon profound architectural inspection, this leaf is the crowning element of my entire engineering career. Trembling, I used my plush robes to painstakingly hoist and slide the dried, curved leaf until it bridged the gap between two wooden blocks, forming a weather-sealed gabled awning over my bottle cap chamber. My bug sanctuary is now fully fortified against all aerial perils.
