Tempting Slanted Pathway

A narrow ramp formed by a tilted hardcover book instantly caught my eye! Beep-beep! With a sharp tilt of my neck and a quick hop, I scrambled up the slick spine. At the very top perched a round plastic bottle cap resting upside-down. Tap! A quick peck nudged it forward, sending it clattering down the slope like a tiny bobsled until it spun to a halt on the hardwood floor. I hopped down beside it, gave a percussive chuckle, and tucked my head low to admire its shiny rim.
