A Leap Over the Thread

Floor level is fine, but elevation? Way better. I bent my bottom rim, coiled tight like a spring, and flipped! Up, over, and thud—right against the thick cord of a phone charger snaking down from the couch. It swayed. Perfect suspension! I hooked my stitched edge over the rubber wire, teetering back and forth like a tiny pendulum before flipping right onto the cozy cushion peak. From up here, the entire living room is in view.
