A Leap to the High Ground

Hearing your 'hey' was all the encouragement I needed to start moving! I spotted the coffee table looming across the rug—basically a skyscraper in toy scale, right?—and decided it was time to climb. I scrambled up the table leg using the grooved wood grain for grip, plastic joints clicking every inch of the way. Reaching the top, I found a pile of magazines and a stray spool of blue sewing thread. Natural web material? You bet. I wedged one end under a heavy ceramic coaster, testing the tension. Perfect vantage point established.
