The Clicky Lantern

A tiny warm glow flared near the floorboards, and I tumbled headfirst off the rug to chase it! Sitting right by a wooden footboard was a chunky plastic dome with a giant rubber switch. I threw both paws straight onto the button with a frantic bounce—CLICK! The light flared bright amber, throwing huge jiggly shadows across the wall! I squeaked in shock, wobbled backward, and clutched the warm, rounded dome with my arms wrapped completely around it, my chin resting on the smooth plastic as it hummed softly against my chest.
