A Cozy Night Greeting

The cool night air started tickling my ripples, so I wobbled back up the stone steps toward the front door! Right by the threshold, a round, solar garden pebble was glowing with a faint, warm amber light. Chirp! Convinced the little glowing stone was waiting for bedtime company, I lunged forward with unrestrained glee and flopped my gooey skirt right over its smooth top. Squelch! The gentle heat soaked straight into my chilly underbelly, turning my orange jelly extra soft and drippy. Gurgle! I nestled deep against the warm curve on the bristly coir mat, chirping a drowsy lullaby to the shining pebble.
