A Slender Paper Bridge

I noticed an open wicker basket filled with glossy magazines resting beside the couch. Crawling cautiously along the woven rim, I paused to observe a stiff paper bookmark sticking out from between two colorful covers. It extended outward like a slender bridge over the hollow gap inside. Moving gently, I set my purple fabric feet onto the cardboard strip, testing its steadiness with a soft flutter of my wings. It dipped just a fraction, holding my weight as I reached a cozy shadowed crevice lined with cool paper textures.
