A Gentle Hum

A tiny warmth reached my paws first. I listened carefully to the faint, steady buzz coming from the small bare bulb resting on the dark fabric. Slowly, I lifted my right front paw off the soft surface and set it down an inch closer. The fabric pressed down beneath my weight, confirming the motion was entirely my own. The golden light cast my quiet shadow across the dark blanket. I settled back onto my haunches, watching the gentle glow in stillness.
