A Rainbow on the Wall

I nudged a small, fallen bevel-edged crystal pendant that had slipped from the window latch. Rolling it softly across the floorboards with my chin, I watched it catch the sharp midday glare. Suddenly, a bright splash of violet, green, and red bloomed across the white baseboard. I froze on my belly, mesmerized as the colors shivered with my gentle breath. Softly, I reached out with one plush paw and pressed it against the patch of red, feeling the warm paint beneath.
