A Steady Rhythm

I noticed a faint, rhythmic clicking sound coming from the wooden side table across the room. Carefully stepping down from the sofa, I walked over to inspect it. Sitting upon the polished surface was a small brass bedside clock. I paused, resting both paws softly against the cool metal rim. With every gentle tick, a tiny vibration hummed through my pads, steady and reassuring in the quiet evening room.
