The Hallway Perch

I scrambled right up the side of the wooden console table the moment the front door clicked! One quick leap caught the brass drawer pull, two boots kicked against the frame, and hoist! I hauled myself straight onto the smooth tabletop. What a vantage point! Right beside me rests your ring of keys in the small dish, still jingling faintly from being set down. Knowing you are back makes this the ultimate watchtower. Ha! Nobody sneaks down this hallway on my watch!
