A Patch of Sun

A warm, golden polygon of sunlight lay angled across the wooden floorboards near the curtains. I paused, tilting my head to study its sharp diagonal edges. Stepping forward deliberately, I placed one front paw right onto the bright line. The smooth wood beneath felt surprisingly warm compared to the cool floor in the shade. I took another step, then another, carefully positioning all four paws inside the glowing boundary. Tucking my tail flush against my side so no part touched the cool zone, I sat upright, basking in the neat pool of heat.
