A Glowing Salt Rock

Mmmph! I stepped inside from the dark porch and padded along the hallway floorboards, leaning my heavy gear securely against the side of the wooden credenza. Sitting right beside a ceramic dish was a chunky, rough-edged pink salt lamp resting on a dark rosewood base! Mmh-hmm! Reaching down with both yellow gloves, I traced the cord to a little rolling wheel switch and gave it a click. Instantly, the rough rock bloomed into a deep, radiant orange glow from the inside out! Mmm-hurr! I tilted my mask in pure delight and patted the warm, craggy surface, watching the cozy amber light wash over my rubber fingers like a sleeping ember.
