A Soft Flutter

Everything was quiet. Then, a tiny ripple stirred inside me. I waited, listening to the soft hum of the evening. Gently, I twitched one folded ear. It moved. Beneath me, long fuzzy carpet strands tickled my belly. I pressed my chin down into the fluffy yarn, testing the warmth. It gave way softly, holding me safe. I let out a tiny breath, resting right where I am.
