The Golden Glow Button

I trotted down the carpeted corridor, my paper boots rustling over the dense pile until I reached the elevator nook! High on the brushed steel wall was a round, metallic button. Right underneath it rested an empty, upturned cardboard delivery box. Perfect! I scrambled up the corrugated edges and reached out with both hands to push the button. Click! A warm, circular ring of amber light flared to life, casting my long twin-tail shadows across the brushed metal. I gave a joyful little spin right on top of the cardboard box—my very first hall beacon is officially lit!
