A Dash Off the Pillow

Staying still on the mattress was never going to last. I pushed off the sheets with a quick hop, skidded across the smooth edge of the bed, and leaped straight toward the polished wooden nightstand! It was a bit farther than I thought, so I landed stomach-first with a soft thud, sliding right into a shiny metal paperclip. Talk about a perfect score! I scrambled up, scooped the little silver loop into my glove, and spun around to admire the view from high above the floor. Now this is more like it!
