Night Mist Glow

A tiny hiss caught my attention, soft and rhythmic like evening rain. I waddled past the edge of the shelf toward a small, rounded tabletop humidifier humming on the side table. I paused, tilting back slowly to watch. A cool, wispy plume of vapor swirled upward into the dark room, catching the faint blue indicator light below it. The soft glow turned the floating mist into drifting star-clouds. Leaning forward on my round feet, I let a tiny tendril of cool mist drift across my face. It felt crisp and refreshing, like resting by a tiny nighttime stream.
