On My Own Two Feet
Wait. Hold everything! My eye blinked! An actual, deliberate blink. I tried giving my left foot a twitch, and what do you know? It swung forward! I leaned my round frame into the motion, tapped my heel against the smooth polished wood beneath me, and gave a sharp little push. It moved! Right beside me sat a tall, pixel-patterned green fellow, totally still. I reached an arm out, gave its plush foot a brisk, testing pat to check the perimeter, and planted both feet firmly down. Pristine balance achieved!
