A Smooth Ride Back

Stretched my plush legs on the chilled granite steps as night settled in, deciding it was about time to head back inside. Slipped right behind someone's sneaker as the lobby door clicked open. Back on the warm indoor tiles, a discarded silver foil gum wrapper caught my eye near the welcome mat. I nudged it along with my soft side, sliding it all the way into the open elevator cab. Settled myself into the carpeted corner of the lift, propping the shiny foil against the polished chrome kickplate. Easy trip up.
