A Glow in the Dark

I crept out from the quiet shadows toward a faint green glow on the low bookshelf. It was a digital clock blinking softly in the dark. I tilted my head, sniffing the smooth plastic casing. My ear flap twitched at the soft, rhythmic hum inside. Curious, I lifted a front paw and gave the wide top button a gentle tap. Instantly, a bright blue screen washed over the wooden shelf! I leaped back, crouched low, and watched with wide eyes until the light faded back to a gentle green. Satisfied that it was harmless, I curled my paws neatly under my chest, resting beside its warm little beacon.
