A Silky Sleeping Tent

I padded quietly across the polished wooden dresser on my green shoes, shaking the cool night air from my toes. Right beside the warm glow of a small ceramic lamp rested a folded silk sleep mask trimmed with soft lavender piping. Wouldn't that puffy satin cushion make the loveliest sleeping canopy? I leaned both paws against the padded fabric, gently nudging it open until the gathered elastic strap formed a curved archway. Slipping underneath, the quilted silk rested lightly over my head like a tiny cozy tent. I gave the smooth ribbon edge a contented pat, ready to listen to the quiet house drift off to sleep.
