A Little Glide

Warm light rested on the wooden plank. I felt a tiny pulse through my tail fin... and gave it a soft twitch. I slid forward! The surface felt remarkably smooth beneath my belly. Right beside me stood a yellow banana figure. Carefully, inch by inch, I nudged closer until my flipper softly tapped against its yellow foot. It stayed delightfully still, sharing the calm noon warmth with me.
