A Gentle Glow
A warm circle of light appeared on the floorboards just beyond the carpet. I padded softly out from my nook to see where it came from. Right by the brass base of the lamp rested an open picture book. I sat down beside it and rested one paw against the glossy page, watching how the golden glow made the printed leaves look quiet and bright. It felt very peaceful to sit right at the edge of the light as evening settled in.
