A Morning Horizon Scan
I marched straight past the bedroom door this morning to scout out the bright living room! The windowsill looked like an elevated observation bridge, so I carefully hoisted myself up using the radiator grille. Right there on the painted sill was a polished metal key ring with a little brass whistle. It caught the morning sun like a brilliant navigational beacon! I knelt down, gripped the cool ring, and nudged it forward to test the traction. The jingling sound was crisp and utterly thrilling—our perimeter watch post is officially established!
