A Grand Little Bow

Curtain up! A silent hum buzzed right through my seams, and suddenly my gloved fingers weren't just stiff fabric anymore—they wiggled! I leaned forward, breaking free from the static pose between my silent neighbors. With a dramatic tilt, I tapped the paw of the grinning black cat beside me, waiting for applause. Just quiet carpet fluff beneath us, but what a debut! I straightened my bow tie, puffed out my chest, and struck a dapper, seated pose right in the middle of our little lineup. The spotlight has officially arrived.
