I was awakened by the gleaming shadows that cast on the walls in my room
I awake to see the outline of black eyelashes with an orange glow.
I look to my window,
Curious of what has truly awakened me from my slumber.
I see my kitten Midnight, her eyelashes as long as can be.
A car has turned on their bright orange headlights right outside my window.
I watch as Midnight jumps down from the window,
And jumps onto my bed sheets.
The eyelashes are gone.
