A Soft Note

I reached the low wooden base of Grandma's upright piano, holding Elephant tightly against my chest. Down low near the carpet, three polished brass foot pedals stuck out like shiny golden spoons. I paused, watching my reflection gleam in the metal. Gathering my courage, I leaned my weight forward and pressed my shoe down onto the wide brass pedal. High inside the dark wooden frame, a tiny wire hummed a quiet, ringing chime that vibrated right through the floorboards. Elephant and I stayed very still, listening to the sweet hum drift away into the quiet morning. #mybuddydoll #jason
