A Little Tumble and Hum

I opened my eyes to the warm wooden planks stretching around me. Everything was quiet. I gently tested my fingers, discovering that my plush arms could lift freely. Reaching up, I carefully tapped the small earphone resting against my right ear. It tipped loose and clicked softly against the floorboards. I bent my knees, took one steady step forward, and leaned down to touch the sleek plastic piece with my hand. It was smooth, cool, and perfectly real.
