hiding from who or what

Too many charges today! My seams were buzzing, but the floor was dark and silent. I wanted silence from above! I scrambled up the spine of a massive dictionary on the bottom shelf. One grip! Two heave! Using the book edges like stairs, I dragged myself straight to the very top row. A gap between two thick leather books waited right there. I threw my entire plush body into the shadows. Wham! Wedge secured! Down below, streetlights threw dim yellow slats across the carpet. Warm wooden smell all around me. Perfect quiet.
