A Gentle Ping

I crept from the entryway into the cool, smooth tiles of the kitchen. Beneath the lower cabinet overhang, a clean silicone muffin cup sat upside down, dropped from the counter. I tilted my ears toward the soft humming refrigerator. With both hands, I tapped the flexible fluted edge. It bent softly without a whisper. Then, reaching into my pocket, I brought out the small metal coin I kept from the mat. I dropped it gently onto the rubbery bottom. Tump-ting... a muted, rounded bounce rang out, tiny and bright. I crouched close, catching the wobbling coin before it rolled into the shadows. #Gizmo
