The floor...
She was on the floor, laughing.
She had upended the laptop, and knocked some of the cushions out from under the desk with her feet.
Gasping although she didn't need to, a word could have been discerned if anyone had been listening.
"C...c...co...cougar!" Her fist thumped the floor a few times.
A small scaly head led the rest of the snake's body across the geometric patterned floor mat as the small creature moved away from the noise and the movement.
"No...no. Wrong animal, but closer than you think, Harpy."
She managed to sit up, and righted the tipped-over computer.
She shook her head, a cascade of jet black strands cascading down her back as the tie fell out of her hair.
"Yes. He could have been a comedian. Or perhaps on that mortal food channel..." She giggled again, then sighed and tried to make her features more serious.
Monsters could certainly be amusing...and amused, once they accepted themselves for what they were.
She looked over at the still undelivered package, became serious very quickly, and decided to go try some target practice with the new sketches.
