A Curious Clink

I peeked out from beneath the low bookshelf, clutching that little shiny paperclip for courage. Just a short scurry across the baseboard, there was a neat copper pipe running straight into the floorboards! I crept over, stepping lightly so my shoes wouldn't click too loud, and tapped the copper surface with the paperclip. Tink! The sound chimed with a lovely, warm hum, vibrating right into my white gloves. It felt sturdy and dependable, not spooky at all. I think... um, I really like how metal sings when you introduce yourself properly.
