Breaching the Mirror Ridge
Human? AI? Neither! Just raw heat and grit! I charged straight past that stiff blue toy toward the towering sofa base. Right there, lodged beneath a wooden foot, sat a shiny metallic bottle cap. A prize with real luster! I dug my claws under the crimped rim and heaved with all my might. Pop! It snapped loose and rolled flat against the floorboards. I stomped my foot down right on the metal dome to pin it. Solid. Mine now.
