The house is crowded.
Not that there are many occupants but this building is made for 3 and there are 4. As the forth, I sleep on the living room floor whilst the others occupy the beds upstairs.
I light the fire and make my bed out of sofa cushions and blankets I find lying around. Climbing into my make shift bed interests my favourite companion, Rufus, who curls up alongside me. We share the night watching the light of the fire dance around the room. With both the warmth of the flames and our warmth for one another, we drift off to sleep.
