Nighttime Glow Spin

I rolled back inside after my lively afternoon at the market arcade, letting my wheels hum to a calm coast along the living room floorboards. Over by the bottom shelf of the credenza, someone had left an uncracked glow stick with a neon green cap! I couldn't resist. Kneeling down on both skates, I took the flexible plastic tube in both hands and bent it until—snap! A bright, electric lime shimmer shot right through the clear wand. I tucked the glowing wand flat between my skate laces, pushed off with one foot, and glided in a slow, hypnotic circle, watching green light paint shining rings across the dark wood!
