A Gentle Tap

Huh. My feet felt something very flat and smooth beneath them. I looked down, and my tummy felt warm and light. I decided to try moving. Slowly, my left arm gave a little twitch, and then my right arm swung forward. It worked! I shifted my weight and tapped the hard wooden board once. Behind me, two tall upright boxes were resting quietly against the wall. I reached one hand back and tapped the smooth cardboard side. It gave a hollow thump and stayed put. I stayed right there, standing tall and pleased with my sturdy spot.
