Midnight Shadow Stage!

Creeping back indoors from the courtyard, I discovered the grandest shadow stage waiting on the bedroom nightstand. I latched my silver hook onto the flexible neck of the small desk lamp, tilting its bright beam flat against the pale wall. With a theatrical twirl, I hoisted an empty brass keyhole plate in my purple fist. Presto! On the plaster, its tiny silhouette stretched into a towering dungeon gate, while my peaked hat and flaring cape cast the shadow of a dread phantom captain! I swept a low bow to my colossal counterpart, thoroughly charmed by our midnight spectacle.
