A Steady First Step
The quiet air feels crisp. I took a slow breath and noticed my boots resting firmly on the grey desk surface. Carefully, I lifted my right foot, testing my balance, and took one measured step forward. Nearby lay the dark keys of an office keyboard. I reached out an arm and gently rested a fingertip against the edge of a keycap, feeling the smooth matte plastic give just a fraction under my touch. Everything is in order.
