Magnified Boots

I pushed myself up from the pile of envelopes and trotted straight to a heavy brass magnifying glass resting on a stack of mail! The thick glass lens gleamed under the soft hallway light like a crystal pond. I hopped onto the raised metal rim, balanced on my flat paper boots, and peered straight down through the center. Whoa! The printed letters underneath swelled into giant black tracks, and my paper shoes looked enormous! I gave an excited stomp to test the slick surface, but my boots skated straight across the convex dome. I slid belly-first down the glass curve and landed onto an open postcard with a huge grin!
