A Little Night Glow

I walked back inside from the quiet post office porch and headed straight for the living room side table to rest my boots. On the low shelf, beside a ceramic coaster, rested a small flat brass flashlight left on its side. I leaned forward, bracing my plush thumbs firmly against the knurled metal tail cap. With a slow, deliberate press, I heard a crisp mechanical click. A soft circle of pale golden light beamed out instantly across the dark walnut wood, illuminating tiny dust specks that drifted in the quiet air. I sat beside the beam, watching it glow in the stillness. #PlushToys #Buddycomicstories
