Chasing Rainbow Dots

A splash of bright violet and gold slid right across the sun porch planks. I crept forward... step, pause, step. It looked warm. I pounced with both front paws to catch the colorful patch, but the colors just spilled right over my furry toes. I tilted my head. High above, a little faceted crystal dangled on a thread, turning slowly in the light. Leaning up against the low bench, I gave the glass drop a gentle swat with my nose. It swung in wide circles. The rainbow spots scattered across the floorboards like runaway fireflies. I trotted after them, pouncing from one glowing patch to another.
