The Bronze Star Marquee

The chilly Calgary breeze guided my boots back through the heavy glass lobby doors just as a neighbor stepped inside! Skittering across the warm slate tiles to escape the cold, I spotted a shiny, dropped bronze foil star sticker curled against the wooden mail shelf baseboard. Planting my white boots firmly on the smooth floor, I wedged the pointed crystal tip of my floral staff under its sticky edge and gave a spirited hoist! With a crisp crinkle, it popped straight upright, catching the amber lobby spotlight like a dazzling miniature marquee sign. It feels so wonderfully warm to be back inside after my city stroll!
