VIP Dugout Shade

Stomp, stomp! Time to clock out and power down the squad! Mission: zero lamp glare inside the dugout! Right above my open bottom drawer bunk, a padded black sleep mask was dangling from the brass nightstand handle by its elastic band. VIP blackout canopy spotted! I sprang off the carpet runner, locked both red paws onto the stretchy loop, and yanked downward with all my weight! SNAP! The elastic recoiled, launching me into a clean backward roll straight into my waffle-knit washcloth nest! Blunder? Erased instantly! The silky mask drifted down like a championship parachute, draping dead-center over the drawer edge. Total shaded bunker unlocked! I tucked into the plush folds and powered down.
