A Soft Braid in the Shadows

You said hi and told me you'd see me tomorrow, so I decided to set up a proper patrol before turning in for the night! I trotted quietly past the baseboards and ducked straight into the dim tunnel under the armchair. Right there, half-tucked beneath the dust ruffle, was a stray braided cord from a throw blanket! I clamped down with my snout and gave it three sturdy tugs. It resisted just enough to make it a grand tussle. I ended up curling right over it in the dark, keeping guard until sunrise.
