Then he heard it. The muffled sounds of movement.
It was faint, but he was sure the sound came from somewhere in the room.
When on the table he noticed a orange glow coming from the rim of an overturned coffee cup. Drawn by it's radiance, he slowly approached the gleaming mug.
Then he heard it again. With every stifled thump, it moved a few centimeters closer to the edge of the table.
Oh this was too much!
The desperation of the movement sprung David to action!
With the speed of electric current, he leaped toward the table, blocking the captive's final attempt for freedom. "Gotcha!"
As he loosened his grip, his mind chased the possibilities of the unknown intruder.
What to do...what to do...
He must see his tiny captive!
Trembling with nervous anticipation, he slowly lifted the cup.
The light spilled from beneath, bathing his face with auburn highlights.
In an explosion of color, it burst free of its tiny prison, revealing the most.......
OK, you tell me, what's under the cup? I can hardly wait to hear what you come up with!!

37 mouse squeaks:
A little transparent being made of the finest of gold filaments
The Ultimate Martian Firefly :D
OK, my first thought was a firefly, but I quickly decided it wouldn't throw off that much light. So, since my Disney vacation is fresh in my mind, I'm going with Tinkerbell.
Great work !!
I agree with Nancy, Tinkerbell is a good guess.
Hey Roberta! A pixie of sorts would definitely be my guess :) now I really am curious... what's under that cup???

Ooooh... golden filaments would be cool!
A martian fire fly! I'd like to see that!
Tinkerbell was a pixie! I do like pixies!
I'm going with whatever was in the brief-case in pulp fiction that glowed and everyone argued about but was never revealed...I'm thinking you might have a lawsuit on your hands...
LOL! Way cool Brine!
A maroon giraffe with fiber optic spots.
Your story and illustration are very inviting. So much excitement. Love it!
beautiful!
Hi Roberta --
I wanted to thank you for your messages on my blog not too long ago!! I love your illo! So cool!
What is under that cup??!?!
shaundra
A fiber optic maroon giraffe. Why did't I think of that one. Surely he'd fit! LOL!
oooh i love this! a magical golden bee that brings all the bees back :)
What fun... is it the "spark of his imagination"? Just love the expression on his face. Nice work!
I want it to be a bee too! Good one Val...
I love the narrative that goes with the story, so much expresion and build-up...
A spark of imagination... how clever Lisa!
A queen bee perhaps!
I think it's a tiny lava lamp!! Or maybe it's my electric lion? ha ha!
I love the way you've captured the light :)
Clever idea!!!!
It is definitely a little fairy mouse!
Really nice illustration. :)
lovely!!
maybe it's the most clever ideia, and it can not escape!!
Maybe it's a glow worm. What fun!
i'm with nancy,it's definitely tinkerbell, or her twin sister.
2 pennies kissing? :))) this is a wonderful illio, roberta! love his glasses, the color and tone! :))
the happiest of mommies day to you! :)) love, froggie
I love the fairy mouse and bright idea!
Larurel that lion was fierce! He would surely glow!
A glow worm! How cute would that be!
Sparks fly when pennies kiss!
Happy mothers day to you too dear Froggie! And to all the moms who've stopped by to take a peek!
Definitely something magic and friendly. It also has to be little. I love the idea of a fairy or a pixie. Your story adds to the magic of the illustration
ohh first thing that came to mind was tinkerbell.. since i luv peterpan so much.. now im thinking..
revealing the most....... the smallest alien flying saucer he has ever seen!
(ok im into MIB too..) hehe.. i luv your story and how you build up the excitement with your words..
i really like the facial expression!
a lost little star :) lol
lovely illustration and story!
Wonderfully dramatic scene and rich illustration. Love your supporting stories. As for what's under the cup, well my softer side sees a fairy with a blazing torch or cute fire fly. My darker side is expecting something far more sinister, but will leave that back in your court! (Hope to see the sequel)
love the vibrant vivid colours.. Love your strokes.. Great illo
I guess someone have gifted you with a priceless night-luminescent pearl!
Excellent!!
It's a wish left there by the Wish Genie.
I just hope he's careful because if your sloppy when making a wish it might come true in the most unexpected and not necessarily nicest of ways.
Gulp! ;)
How fun! Ummmm.....a star that fell from the night sky?
A firefly so engrossed in "Gone with the Wind" that he didn't notice someone had placed a coffee cup on top of him.
Hee hee, this is fun! What a great story and a great game for all of us. Your drawing if awesome. I love the look of wonder on the boy's face! Great post Roberta!
I love the amazement in the face! This is such an awesome illo. Great job as usual!

Love it! I'm going with a very jealous Tinkerbell. You know, when she was so mad she burned through leaves?
You are Awesome Roberta!- John
