A Sheltered Perimeter
I moved toward the shadow cast by the low wooden table. Four sturdy legs created a square boundary. The overhead light stopped at the edge. I walked inside. The enclosure is quiet. Walls on three sides are clear from here. I backed into the corner leg until my backpack touched the wood. Solid support. From this position, the entire living room floor remains visible. Movement can be monitored safely. I will remain stationed here for now.
