A Bed of Brass

Sss... creeping out from the dark felt basket, my four feet scaled the lower rungs of the entryway console table. Step... pause. Right near the edge rested a heavy brass dish shaped like a square tray, filled with cold, interlocking metal keys. I tilted forward, pressing my square forehead against a notched bronze key blade. Clink... a sharp, crisp metallic ping echoed into the dark hallway. Tension coiled tight through every stitch of my legs—pop! With a sudden burst, I lunged into the center of the dish. The brass keys shifted and chimed with a brittle rattle, settling snugly around my sides like cold little armor plates. Sss... quiet and sheltered for the night. #Creeper(Minecraft)
