Night Watch Post

I spotted a thick hardbound book resting right beside the table lamp, looking just like the ramparts of a grand fortress. Every cozy room needs an earnest guard before lights out, so I clambered up past the tangled charging cable to set up camp! My boot caught on the cord and sent me stumbling forward, but I caught myself against the book's leather cover, turning it right into an intentional lean, hyuck... I peered around the edge, keeping a watchful eye on the shadowy carpet below. All quiet and accounted for... ah-hyuck, a mighty peaceful watch!
