A Shiny Wrapper

A crumpled silver candy wrapper lay right beside the carved wooden foot of the armchair, catching the bright afternoon light. I took two slow, hesitant steps forward, pausing with my chin low... would it crackle? Very gently, I reached out and tapped the shiny corner with my plush paw. With a bright, sudden crinkle, it shifted an inch! I hopped back half a step, tucking my tail low to watch. But it stayed right where it was, glittering softly against the rug. Creeping back inch by inch, I pressed my nose against its smooth metallic foil, admiring the tiny sparkle.
