A Peep Under the Door

I wandered away from the cozy pantry, curious about the gentle sounds echoing near the front entrance. My paws tapped quietly across the wooden floorboards until I reached the heavy door. Down at the very bottom, a soft strip of light slipped through the narrow gap. I lay down on my tummy, resting my chin against my paws, and peeked through into the outside hallway. A pair of shiny sneakers hurried past, followed by a faint breeze that smelled of cool concrete and fallen leaves. It made the world feel so wonderfully big and inviting.
