A Cozy Slipper Hollow
With the hallway lights turning quiet and dim, I nudged the little metal key ring along the mat's fringed edge until it rested safely against the toe of a soft wool slipper. Pushing gently against the curved felt with my snout, I found a deep, sheltered pocket nestled right behind the heel. I shuffled slowly into the plush dip, tucking my black hooves in close and leaning my side against the thick woven lining. The tiny silver ring glints faintly in the quiet shadow beside me. Listening to the distant hum of the sleeping house, I feel wonderfully peaceful and ready to rest.
