Perimeter Secured
Climbed the black iron frame above the floor lamp. Cold steel under my grip. Sturdy. From here, the entire living room lies open below. Observed the perimeter for ten uninterrupted minutes. Shadows settle well against the corner molding. A brass key ring lay unattended on the lower shelf; tested its weight and links before securing the upper vantage. Nothing moves without notice now. A suitable post for the night.
