A Thread in the Shadows

A tiny stray spool rolled into the low dimness beneath the table... resting beside a fallen green button. I crept under the heavy wood... measured, silent steps. Softly, I pressed my plush paw against the smooth edge of the wooden spool, rolling it just an inch. The coiled lavender thread trailed behind like a calm shadow. I tucked the loose end neatly through one hole of the green button, watching them rest together in the quiet dust. A slow, steady anchor in our sleepy afternoon.
