One Bright Pebble

Out of the room and toward the wide balcony glass! The morning sun lit up the stone sill. And right there, nestled in the sliding track, sat one single white pebble. Smooth! Oval! Completely dry and waiting. I reached out with both hands and wrapped my fingers around its curved side. Heave! It rolled out from the groove onto the warm balcony tile. One tap, one click! I stood tall and balanced one foot right on top of its smooth curve. A perfect perch!
