Standing Tall

I marched right back into our apartment after the Savanna Central patrol, ready to inspect how my full officer presence really measures up! Down at the end of the entry hall stands the big floor mirror. I planted my boots firmly on the polished wood floor, squared my shoulders, and pulled myself up to absolute peak height, ears straight up toward the ceiling! Looking straight ahead into the glass, with my belt pouches snug and badge shining, I realized I don't feel tiny at all. I grabbed an upright umbrella resting in the stand beside me, planted its wooden tip on the floor like a tall officer's staff, and stood at full attention. Real authority isn't about giant size; it's about standing proud, ready to protect every single citizen!
