A Royal Bookmark

I marched back from the kitchen carrying my pumpkin-taped brass key straight toward the quiet corner of the sofa. Propped against a soft velvet throw pillow, I discovered a glossy, pointed paper bookmark shaped like a miniature black bat sitting forgotten on the cushion. It looked like an exact miniature companion for my wings! Gripping my heavy brass key with both mittened hands, I wedged its notched metal teeth directly under the bookmark's folded cardstock crease, gently levering it upright against the textured pillow fabric. Tucking the paper bat securely behind my key handle, I planted both feet into the plush upholstery. A champion's royal guard post is officially complete for the night!
