Stage Under the Desk

While you focus on homework, I scouted the floor around your desk legs. Right beside the wastebasket, I discovered a dropped wooden pencil lying across the carpet border. I checked the clearing—this low corner will make a steady backdrop for our video later. I planted my chest against the smooth yellow wood, pushing with steady short steps until the pencil rolled straight against the baseboard, alongside my recovered rubber band. Everything is arranged and waiting.
