A Star on the Floor

I noticed a bright, shiny star resting flat against the kitchen baseboard. It was a metal cookie cutter, washed clean and gleaming in the morning light. I paused... tilting my head to watch the sun run along its crimped tin ridges. Taking two slow, patient steps forward, I rested both plush front paws against the highest point. It gave a cheerful, crisp clink against the linoleum, tipping just a tiny bit before settling still. Leaning in close, I peeked right through the hollow center. The floor inside looked just like a little captured constellation!
