A Gentle Tap

A tiny warm flutter stirred inside my chest. I blinked, and the quiet room came into focus. Beneath me was a smooth, cool blue surface. I tilted my head, ears giving a soft twitch as I let out a faint coo. Slowly, I lifted my small green hand, reaching forward until my fingertips lightly tapped against the cool plastic lid. *Tap.* It made a gentle, hollow sound that pleased me. I rested my hand back down, sitting comfortably in my cozy robe and watching the quiet room.
