Piper Keeps Me In The Dark

Posted on August 1, 2025 By Sister Rain

Even though I have a home office I mostly write at my dining room table adjacent to the living room. Some mornings when I come downstairs to start my day, due to weather conditions, closed window blinds or the early hour, it can be quite dark in both rooms. In these instances Piper does not move in his mansion when I arrive on the first floor.

Stopping for a second to leave my iPad and iPhone on the table, I continue to the kitchen to make coffee. Returning to my devices, I get to work . . . with only the glow from my large iPad screen to pierce the blackness. I lower the brightness, as I am in the direct line of Piper’s sight 10 feet away.

He can stay cozy with the lights out for as long as he wants. It is the least I can do for Piper, who was there for me when my world want dark.
