The Gentle Hum

I leaned my side right against the desktop speaker. It was purring! A tiny, steady hum rolled right through my jelly middle, making my sparkles catch the lamp glow in little rhythmic shivers. Every moment or two, a soft tap of bass buzzed—thump, thump—and I squished down just a tiny bit flatter against the wood to catch every wiggle. It felt warm, like a quiet song meant just for resting. I decided not to roll anywhere else tonight.
