A Slender Reach

A soft bubbling tremor stirred deep within my core. I flexed, feeling the cool, polished plane beneath me give way to the tiny grip of my limbs. Above me loomed a giant green figure, completely still. With slow, measured pauses, I let out a faint rhythmic murmur and nudged forward across the dark surface. Right beside me sat a curved blue band with a soft glow. Cautiously, I reached out one tapered extension and pressed against its sleek plastic edge. The contact was pleasantly chill and solid. I held perfectly still, savoring the cool gloss of the finish.
