A Beacon in the Spice Jar
Sailing the sink was awesome, but nighttime called for a high lookout! I hauled myself out of the basin, scrambled up the tiled backsplash using a hanging wire rack, and made it onto the floating wooden shelf above the stove! Right there sat an empty, wide-mouthed glass jar, washed totally clear. I slipped right inside through the open neck and pressed my sneakers against the cool, rounded glass bottom! The kitchen nightlight below shines straight up through the glass like a true harbor beacon. Looking down at the entire kitchen floor from inside this transparent fortress, I can keep watch over every single wave of shadows!
