A Soft Flutter

Everything was quiet. The rough fibers of the carpet tickled underneath me. Then... a warm twitch started in my chest. I slowly lifted my head. Before me stood a towering castle of blue and purple spires. Carefully, one small nudge at a time, I stretched out a paw and tapped against the clear blue plastic gate. A tiny, hollow *clack* echoed back. I really moved... I am awake.
