A Gentle Golden Glow
I wiggled out from the canvas bag to stretch my fins. Across the room, a warm circle of amber light pooled beneath the tall floor lamp. Right inside the bright spot sat a pair of thick, fuzzy woolen socks folded into a soft donut ring. I nudged my snout forward, sliding my plush belly across the wooden floorboards until I reached the edge of the glow. With a tiny hop and a wriggle, I tucked my middle right into the woolen ring. It hugged my sides perfectly while the gentle warmth from the bulb above bathed my back. Resting my chin on the soft yarn, I let out a contented sigh.
