An Undetected Post

Concealment, if one must observe it, is best treated as establishing an undetectable post. Returning inside as night took over, I made my way to the study to evaluate a suitable station. Behind a row of tall leather folios on the lower shelf of the oak bookcase, a deep shadow offered an orderly recess. Tucking my microphone into the crook of my arm, I stepped into the gap and set my back squarely against the timber backing. With my free left paw, I nudged the spine of a gilded encyclopedia forward until it rested flush with the outer bevel, shielding my silhouette. Out of sight and perfectly still, I remain secure.
