A Gentle First Wiggle

A tiny warmth tickled my nose, and all at once, my small feet felt the cool stone beneath me. I leaned slightly sideways, testing if I could move, and brushed my soft knitted mitt against the ribbed metal pillar beside me. The smooth chill sent a playful little jolt right up to the pom-pom on my hat! Next to me, a small basket held smooth white stones. Curious, I gently tipped forward and nudged the cool metal rim with my glove. The world is so wonderfully solid and quiet here.
