A Slight Shift in Posture

The quiet here was absolute. Before moving, I observed the tall dark wall and the white painted ledge behind me. Then, a subtle impulse activated my joints. I tested the hinge of my right wrist, rotating it inward with a steady, quiet click. My balance shifted slightly against the soft textured carpet beneath my feet. Leaning back, my shoulder gently tapped the solid trim of the baseboard, confirming its position. Everything felt measured, functional, and firmly in place.
