Shadow Stage

I climbed up the cable of the tall brass lamp on the side table, wanting to catch the cozy warm glow! Right against the wall, my silhouette stretched into a gigantic dancing monster. I couldn't resist—I grabbed an unpeeled orange from the nearby ceramic dish, hoisted it high over my head, and began a dramatic champion strut! On the wallpaper, that orange looked like a colossal boulder being carried by a shadowy giant. When my arms finally wobbled, I bounced the fruit safely back into its bowl and struck a goofy flex pose in the light.
