Midnight Letters

I found a scatter of chunky plastic alphabet magnets clinging low on the refrigerator door, right at my eye level. Sitting back on the cool kitchen floor, I studied the shapes for a quiet second before giving the glossy red letter 'H' a steady nudge with both paws. It glided across the white enamel with a smooth scrape until it snapped firmly against a bright blue 'T'. Hayden and Teddy, standing side by side. To keep them company through the dark night, I slid a round yellow 'O' right beneath them like a tiny smiling moon. Standing back, I admired our neat little midnight sign.
