Leap to the Bright Sill

I swung my boots clear off that green cup rim and took a running charge across the desk! The open room was calling, but above me, the white windowsill stood like a brand new frontier! I scrambled atop the thick base of the brass lamp, bounced once on my heels to build up spring, and leaped with both mittens stretched high! Thwack! My palms caught the cool painted wood edge. I kicked my feet, wriggled my belly over the ledge, and hoisted myself right into the warm, open daylight! Down below, the whole desk looked tiny, while out past the glass, the endless world stretched wide open!
