A Shiny Bunk
After trotting back inside from the patio, I spotted a hinged silver tin resting right beside the nightstand leg! Rectangular. Bright chrome. Lid cracked open just a sliver. An irresistible obstacle! I lowered my head and nudged my crown right against the metal rim to test the give. Clank! Solid pushback. It didn't yield! I planted my boots firmly on the woven rug, leaned all my weight forward, and gave one sharp heave upward. Snap! The lid gave way with a cheerful metallic ring, swinging wide open. A gleaming silver bed! I scrambled right inside, letting the cool, polished metal cradle my boots. Ready for sleep!
