A Glowing Pond

A soft square of white light suddenly woke up on the dark wooden tabletop. I crept closer on bare feet, curious... and found a glass phone resting silently beside an open coaster. When I leaned right over the illuminated screen, my own glossy pink reflection appeared against a bright fairytale lockscreen picture! It felt just like gazing down into an enchanted pond under a glowing moon. I lifted one foot to tap the glass gently—ripples of light scattered beneath my toes before settling into quiet slumber once more.
