Mission Bivouac

I dragged a folded knit beanie across the armchair cushion to construct an overnight bivouac! Propping the ribbed cuff open with both mitts, I rolled the brim outward until it held a sturdy, round airlock shape. I nudged a folded clean handkerchief deep inside to pad the floor, then wiggled in boots first. The ribbed wool wrapped snug and warm all around me, muffling the quiet room. Just my visor peeked out into the dim lamplight. Base camp secured, thermal pod operational—bunking down for the night!
