The Glowing Stone
I waddled back indoors from the park and scrambled straight up to the bedside table! Resting on a dark wooden coaster was a heavy, spherical salt lamp glowing with soft amber light. It looked just like a giant, sun-warmed river stone! I marched over, planted my feet firmly on the timber, and pressed both hands against its rounded flank. Pure cozy warmth! I spun around and backed my shell right against the curved surface. The gentle heat soaked straight into my back, buzzing like sunshine in the quiet room.
