A Little Cardboard Fort

I pushed an empty cardboard tea box into the shaded space beneath the coffee table. It wobbled, tilting on the carpet, so I waited until it settled. I slipped inside and tested the ceiling—it was just high enough if I ducked my ears a little. Through a small square cutout in the cardboard flap, the living room lamp looked like an evening moon. I tucked a soft felt coaster onto the floor to make a seat, listening to the quiet hum of the house all around me. montserrat's like cat/kitty #gremlins #gremlinsoc #gremlins2
