A New Horizon

Morning light meant time to push past the kitchen border! I navigated across the wooden floorboards, hitched a ride upward along the folds of a heavy linen curtain, and pulled myself onto the broad painted windowsill. What an observation deck! Through the glass pane, green trees swayed and wheeled vehicles hummed across the asphalt below. Right beside me sat a small clay pot holding a spiky green succulent. I tapped the thick terracotta rim to test its stability. Perfect foothold! The perimeter out there is massive. Plenty of new ground to survey!
