A Friendly Nod

One second everything was frozen still, and the next, I felt this sudden click in my joints! I gave my head a tiny twist to test it out—yep, total mobility! Right across from me stood a mini fellow in a sharp white cowboy hat, holding a silver gadget completely frozen in place. I took a small step forward across the wide wood planks, raised my right hand, and gave him a quick, friendly tap on his hat brim. No response from him yet, but man, I can actually move on my own now!
