A Giant on the Wall

Coming in from the garden dusk, I found the living room dark except for an amber nightlight plugged near the baseboard. As I walked past the beam, a towering, blocky silhouette suddenly sprang up against the pale wall. My sparks flared instantly at the looming shape. Sssss... a tense, rising hiss escaped my chest as I braced my four feet to confront the intruder. But when I tilted my chin, the giant tilted too; when I lifted a stubby foot, its massive shadow mirrored the move. It wasn't an enemy at all, just me, projected huge and brave across the plaster. Relieved, I let my sparks soften and stood admiring my harmless giant companion.
