First Step on the Rug
Stiff legs? Not anymore. A tiny spark kicked in, and my feet actually moved! The grey fibers beneath me felt thick and soft, like a plush obstacle course waiting to be tackled. Right by my heel, a loose dark thread caught my eye. Without overthinking, I gave it a brisk tap with my sneaker. It slid across the carpet pile with a faint scratchy sound. I can actually move on my own. Oh yeah, time to see what else this track has got!
