A Soft First Tap

A warm tickle started in my chest. I blinked, and the soft fabric under me felt so real. Slowly, I lifted my right arm... it actually moved! I reached forward and pressed my paw into the fluffy brown blanket right in front of me. It squished so gently beneath my touch. I let out a tiny, happy sigh and leaned back against the smooth sheet, smiling into the quiet room.
