Phoenix 🐦‍🔥 - Marking the Eighteenth - 🎞 Buddy Story ; part 70

The wooden numeral cube on the perpetual desk calendar still showed yesterday's date facing outward. Standing on the cherry credenza, I planted my boots firmly before the open brass cradle. Gripping the corners of the beechwood block with both hands, I lifted its weight clear of the recess and rotated it forward until the painted black numeral settled squarely into place. Resting my hands on the warm brass rim, I watched the date sit flush beside the autumn month bar. With the hours accurately framed, the morning felt cleanly poised.
