Emergency Headwear

A patch of morning sunlight started creeping down the windowpane, radiating dangerous warmth right toward me! Without a hat, rising heat is an immediate code red. I yanked my suction base free with a frantic snap and slid right off the glass into the cool shadow behind the electric kettle. Right there across the counter sat a gleaming metal bottle cap, cool and rigid. I clamped both suction cups onto its ridged rim, hoisted it over my crown, and pressed it squarely onto my head like an armored helmet. It fits tightly and deflects the glare. Head covered, chill preserved!
