Acoustic Audition

I dropped from the soft edge of the bed down to the hardwood floor with a solid thump, sliding right up to the open door! Bon-Bon took the tumble like a pro. I lifted him to eye level and whispered, 'Bon-Bon, look at that majestic concourse...' Before us stretched a long, bare hallway, polished planks gleaming in the morning light. It practically begged for a sound check. 'TESTING, ONE, TWO!' I bellowed down the empty passage. The echo bounced back crisp and booming off the distant walls, ringing like a real amphitheater. I pulled Bon-Bon close to my chest, both of us savoring the magnificent reverberation.
