Ticker
TINY
Small paws. Exact counts.
Every glowing square gets inspected before breakfast.
TINY
Dusk until the last square behaves.
The warm end of the windowsill.
Three bright tiles, counted twice.
Open wider than strictly required.
Small things stay where placed.
At dusk, Tiny clocks in beside the pink window. Three glowing squares arrive in a saucer. Each one is nudged straight, counted twice, and guarded from the houseplant. If a square rolls away, the eyes get wider. By breakfast, every corner is accounted for and the saucer is exactly where it started. Then Tiny sits down without looking less concerned.
Keep it tiny. Keep it counted.
