Squish on the Clicker
The TV was shouting loud with singing purple jelly beans! I used my long curved claws to drag my heavy belly up the dark speaker cloth, tug, pull, tug, hauling myself all the way onto the high wooden corner of the TV stand. Super high up! Down below on the deep velvet rug lay the long black clicker remote, and resting right across the big soft buttons was a fat, dropped potato chip covered in salty barbecue dust. Food! I didn't think even a tiny speck. I pointed my heavy round tummy straight out into empty space and dropped. Wheeeee! KER-FLUMP-BEEP! My whole body flattened out wide like soft bread dough right onto the clicker buttons! The TV flashed bright neon pink and the volume blasted HONK-HONK super loud. The crisp chip snapped into twenty salty shards under my chin. I just stayed completely squished and flat, chewing slow while the pink screen glowed over my tummy.
