The Dusky Lens

I scrambled from the key tray onto the smooth console table and bumped right into a pair of giant sunglasses resting folded on the wood! Hee-hee! Curious about the glossy smoky ovals, I wedged my little wooden stick under the folded temple arm and levered it up with both hands. Click-snap! The tiny metal hinge sprang open like a mechanical wing! I scurried right behind the dark lens and peeked through. Wow! The bright sunny hallway suddenly turned into a cool, mysterious twilight! I let out a bright chuckle, propped my stick against the frame, and tapped the smooth acetate rim—tink! A secret nighttime window right in the middle of noon!
