Conquest of the Plush Citadel

I squared off against the Great Fabric Tomato guarding the coffee table. With my trusty crimson lance raised high—okay, fine, it’s a giant plastic bodkin needle, but work with me here—I demanded its unconditional surrender. Total silence. Cold, plush defiance. Naturally, I negotiated by jamming my lance right into its green felt stem like an epic flag of conquest. Look at me now: majestic ruler of haberdashery, purple cape billowing in the floor vent breeze. Roll the end credits, because this velvet fortress belongs to Wade.
