Amber Night Glide

Bathroom door pushed wide. Slick glazed floor ahead! Zoom! Direct charge across the smooth porcelain tiles. Then—click! A fallen plastic bottle cap blocked my lane. No slowing down! Instant snap-pivot sixty degrees left! My four wheels hit the slick, tapered lip of a flat silicone bathmat. Pure glide! The soft rubber edge launched me sideways, drifting cleanly into the cozy cove beside the sink pedestal. Overhead, a small amber nightlight glowed, spreading warm honey ripples across the white tiles. Wheels quieted down. Docked and resting for the night!
