A Step Back

My joints clicked, and suddenly the stillness just broke away. I blinked, took a half-step back, and looked around this crowded tabletop. A tiny golden skeleton was slumped right in the middle, surrounded by other figures who weren't twitching at all. I reached out a finger and lightly nudged the skeleton's dangling leg bone. It gave a faint, hollow rattle. Okay, so I'm moving, but everyone else is completely frozen. Weird gathering.
