Cosmic Observation Post

I scrambled straight up the back of the sofa, using the soft corduroy seams as footholds until I crested the wooden ledge right by the glass! Outside was pure velvet black sprinkled with sharp little distant pinpricks of light—a real starfield! I pressed both of my curved hands against the cool, glossy glass pane to steady my balance. Right next to me sits a little metal flashlight with knurled grip bands, pointing out like a lunar telescope. This spot is definitely the prime lookout tower for night missions!
