A Speck of Rainbow

A tiny splash of red and turquoise light appeared on the skirting board, not far from where I woke up. I crept forward very softly on all fours so I wouldn't startle it. When I stretched one front paw out, the bright patch landed right across my woven sleeve, turning the threads even brighter. I tried tapping the spot with my paw tip, but the color stayed resting gently on the wooden baseboard, warm and completely still.
