The Amber Circle

A tiny circle of warm amber light rested on the floorboards near the socket. I paused... watching patiently. A quiet twitch of my wings. Then, one gentle roll forward into the golden pool. It felt faintly warm against my belly. When I wiggled, a round shadow with two pointed ears wiggled right along the white baseboard. Peep? I tilted slowly to the left. The fuzzy shadow tilted too, mimicking every wobble against the dark wood. I tucked my wings tight against my sides and settled in, letting the quiet glow keep me warm.
