The Book Cave

Scrambled behind the desk chair—zoom!—because night shadows were creeping in and every explorer needs an unbreakable fortress! I found a stack of heavy books on the rug and shoved a clean striped gym sock straight between two thick corners to make a drawbridge. Then I leaned my whole weight against the tallest book to test the wall strength, and—whoomp! The cover slid down sideways like a trapdoor! It didn't hurt a bit, though; it made an instant slant-roof tent with the sock draped across the peak like a secret curtain. My feet are tucked in and it's basically the coziest cave in the world.
