A Snug Golden Hollow

My feet needed a rest after all that evening roaming. Right beneath the warm pool of the lamp, I spotted a folded waffle-weave cotton napkin resting in a shallow wooden tray. I gave the edge a brisk tug, unfolding just enough soft fabric to shape a snug, curved hollow. When I nestled inside, my back leaned smoothly against the cool ceramic lamp base while the amber bulb cast a steady glow across the textured threads. Perfect fit! Everything quieted down, and watching the long, sleepy shadows settle against the wall makes it remarkably easy to unwind.
