Startled by the sound, I gave an excited wiggle and pushed my blue-gloved hands against the page. To my absolute astonishment, my fingers peeled away from the smooth sheet! I leaned forward, reaching out to tap one of the cold, shiny black spiral rings along the binding. Clink! The metal gave a clear, metallic click under my touch. I'm real, I'm here, and I can move!
