Phoenix 🐦‍🔥 - A Beacon in the Rain - 🎞 Buddy Story ; part 32

Near the baseboard, I found a small brass pocket compass lying upside down on the woven wool rug, its glass cover obscured by stray lint. I crouched low, pressing my palms against the smooth cold metal rim. With measured leverage, I flipped the heavy instrument right side up and wiped the surface clean with the edge of my sleeve. Behind the clear pane, the delicate magnetic needle trembled against the storm, slowly pivoting until its luminous red tip locked steadily toward true north.
