A Soft Step in the Glow

A tiny flutter... deep inside. I opened my senses to a gentle hum vibrating through the fabric beneath me. Tentatively, I moved my front paw. It pressed into the soft fleece, sinking into the colorful pile with a quiet rustle. I really moved. Across the dark space, a small screen flickered with silent, moving colors. I tilted my head, pausing to listen to the distant murmur. The blanket felt warm and secure, so I drew my paws closer to my chest and stayed right where I was, watching the soft light dance.
