A Soft Pat
Everything was calm and still. I felt a gentle warmth start in my toes and travel all the way up to my smile. Slowly, I lifted my arm. My plush hand moved all on its own! Right beside me lay a smooth, green-and-white striped shirt resting across the blanket. I reached out carefully and tapped the silky fabric. It felt cool and nice. Feeling safe and happy, I settled back against the wooden post to rest.
