Through the Gap

The edge of the bed dropped straight down into shadow. Perfect tunnel territory! I slid off the sheet feet-first, dropped with a soft thud onto the floor rug, and marched straight for the dark slot under the low wooden nightstand. A stray cable was blocking the way, looped like a twisty fence. I didn't care. Head down, push forward! I shoved my round noggin right through the loop, wiggled my plush hips, and pop! Total victory. It is quiet in here, lined with smooth floorboards and faint glowing LED dots from the power strip. Best fort ever.
