A Sudden Spark

Whoa! Wait a second—did I just twitch? I was lying flat on this sea of brown carpet strands, staring up at nothing, when my hand clicked! I snapped my arm forward, hooked my claw onto a fuzzy beige fiber, and yanked myself up onto one elbow. It bent! Actually bent! Are the fibers supposed to feel this ticklish, or am I just that fast? I gave the tangled carpet strand another good tug, listening to the soft rustle, and grinned behind my mask. I can move!
