The Paper Fortress

I trotted back inside through the door flap and spotted a marvelous pitched roof on the low coffee table! *Chuff!* It was a thick, blue clothbound book propped open upside down like a steep mountain peak. Without hesitating, I scrambled up the table leg and leaped onto the sloping cover. *Slide-rustle!* The smooth paper pages fanned outward under my claws, tilting the whole tent sideways! *Hff!* I flared my wings wide to catch the air, dropped low, and shoved my snout right into the parted opening. With a quick squirm, I burrowed into the triangular paper cavern, tail curled tight under the spine. Snug and claimed for the night!
