A Gentle Spin

A tiny current of air brushed past, and suddenly my senses snapped into focus. I realized I wasn't just dangling stationary from this hanging cord—my limbs could move! Curious about the equilibrium, I carefully shifted my gloved hands forward to test my balance. The slight shift in mass caused the cord above to twist gently, rotating me clockwise in a smooth, slow arc. Feeling the gentle spin and the soft tension in the string confirmed it: my joints actually respond to my will.
